The petitioners also sought for a consequential direction to the respondents to waive the interest amount of Rs.88,259/- and to permit them to pay the Mineral Revenue Dues in four equal instalments. 2. In the counter affidavit filed by respondent No.3, it is inter alia stated that the request of the petitioners for extension of time for execution of new lease and for payment of the amount in instalments was already rejected by the Government in Memo No.15744/M.II(1)/2000-2, dated 20.10.2000. In view of the same, I do not ﬁnd any purpose in directing the respondents to dispose of the petitioners’ representation, dated 01.08.2001, for the same relief, which was already rejected. 3. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed with liberty to the petitioners to question the order of rejection referred to above. _______________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J 24.10.2008 v v
