THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No. 134 of 2011 O R D E R : This Writ Petition can be decided right at this stage itself, instead of keeping it pending. The writ petitioner has been granted leasehold rights for quarrying colour granite over an extent of 1.500 hectares in Survey No. 1 of Addukonda Village, Tekkali Mandal, Srikakulam District for a period of 20 years through the proceedings dated 31.03.2010 of the Director of Mines and Geology, Hyderabad. However, on the ground that the writ petitioner had failed to execute the necessary deed, this grant has been recalled on 16.09.2010. Against these orders, the writ petitioner appears to have moved the State Government by filing a revision on 26.10.2010, in terms of Rule 35 of the A.P. Minor Mineral Concession Rules, 1966. The said revision is still pending. The apprehension of the writ petitioner is that the 4th respondent herein is sought to be granted leasehold rights over the very same extent of the land even before the revision of the writ petitioner is decided one way or the other. I consider it appropriate to direct the 1st respondent State Government to take up the revision said to have been preferred by the writ petitioner on 26.10.2010 and decide the same as expeditiously as possible, preferably within 60 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. It is needless to observe that the writ petitioner herein will be provided an opportunity of hearing by the State Government before final orders are passed in the said revision. With this, the Writ Petition stands disposed of. No costs. ---------------------------------- (NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J) 6th January 2011 ksld
