THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO. 10837 OF 2006 Dated 14th June, 2010 Between: Nimmagadda Ramesh …Petitioner And The Director of Mines and Geology and three others …Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : Smt N.Shoba Counsel for the respondents: AGP for Industries and Commerce The Court made the following ORDER: At the interlocutory stage, the writ petition is taken up for hearing and disposal with the consent of the learned counsel for the parties. The writ petition is filed against the action of the respondents in not granting temporary permits for quarrying gravel over the petitioner’s patta land of Acs.6.44 cents in Survey Nos. 565, 566 and 569 of Perecherla Village, Medikonduru Mandal, Guntur District. A perusal of the proceeding sheet shows that no interim order has been granted in the case. At the hearing, Smt P.Vijaya Lakshmi, learned counsel representing Smt N.Shoba, learned counsel for the petitioner, submitted that she is not aware of the present position as to whether temporary permits were granted pending the writ petition and the cause in the writ petition still survives for consideration. In my opinion, as the relief claimed in this writ petition is confined to grant of temporary permits and in view of expiry of more than four years after the filing of the writ petition, it is not necessary for this Court to adjudicate on the grievance of the petitioner. However, if the grievance of the petitioner still continues to subsist, he shall be free to avail appropriate remedy. Subject to the above observation, the writ petition is closed. As a sequel to closure of the main petition, WPMP No.13514 of 2006 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dated 14th June, 2010 vrn
