THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WP NO. 29642 OF 2011 Date of Judgment: 10.11.2011 Between: P. Karvanan …Petitioner and The State represented by the Director of Mines and Geology and others ..Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WP NO. 29642 OF 2011 ORDER: Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Government Pleader for Mines and Geology appearing for respondents 1 and 2 and learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for respondent Nos. 3 to 5. The petitioner has applied for grant of quarry lease under the application dated 14.9.2011 in terms of G.O.Ms.No. 181 Industries & Commerce (Mines-I) Department, dated 28.05.1998. An expeditious disposal of such application is regulated by the procedure prescribed under the said G.O. The main grievance of the petitioner is that though the report from the 5th respondent is called for by the 2nd respondent-Assistant Director of Mines and Geology, but the report is not sent in terms of the G.O. directly to the 2nd respondent within the time prescribed. The learned counsel for the petitioner relied upon similar grievance redressed by order of this Court in Writ Petition No. 22568 of 2011 dated 10.08.2011 and requests for a similar direction. The learned Government Pleader for Revenue, on instructions, submits that the 5th respondent has already sent a report to the 2nd respondent. In this view of the matter, the grievance of the petitioner does not survive. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to take an appropriate decision on the petitioner’s application basing on the report of the 5th respondent in terms of the G.O.Ms.No.181, dated 28-05- 1998. No costs. _________________________ VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J Dt. 10.11.2011 KR
