Mr. U.P.Warunjikar, adv. For the Petitioner. Mr. S.N.Patil, AGP for the Respondent/State. CORAM : F.I.REBELLO & J.H. BHATIA, JJ. DATED : 9th December , 2009 P.C. 1 By the present petition, the prayers sought for by the petitioner is that to extend the period of contract to extract sand. From the petition, it emerges that the possession was given to the petitioner on 8.3.2009. Petitioner handed back the possession on 20.7.2009. In other words, petitioner is no longer in possession. 2 In these circumstances, really speaking it may not be possible for this Court to issue writ in the nature sought for by the petitioner. However, it is the case of the petitioner that he had paid money on anticipation that he will be able to remove the quantum of sand as provided for but he could not do so because of the circumstances beyond his control. Petitioner has already made representation to the respondents. Counsel for the petitioner prays that he may be permitted to make a fresh representation contending all his contentions and claims. On behalf of the respondents, the learned AGP points out that in terms of the contract, there is no provision for grant of extention. This was reproduced in the contract entered into between the petitioner and the respondents. We do not propose to go into those aspects. Considering the representation, if so made by the petitioner within 15 days from today, the concerned authority of the respondents to whom the representation is made to dispose it off according to the law in 8 weeks from the receipt of the application. 3 With the above observations, the petition stands disposed off.
