It was made clear that the orders are strictly on temporary basis for a period of fifteen days only. The petitioner herein earlier filed Writ Petition No.716 of 2002 challenging the notification dt.31.12.2001 whereby and whereunder third respondent proposed to auction the right to quarry sand for a period of one year. This Court by order made in W.P.M.P.No.800 of 2002 in W.P.No.716 of 2002 stayed auctioning of right to quarry sand from the limits of Chennamukapally Gram Panchayat. Even when the said Writ Petition was pending, the impugned order was issued. The impugned order is assailed inter alia on the ground that it is issued only to the advantage of fourth respondent in violation of the order of this Court in W.P.M.P.No.800 of 2002 in W.P.No.716 of 2002. This Court while admitting the Writ Petition on 23.4.2002 passed orders restraining the respondents from granting any further temporary permit. In that view of the matter, the cause of action does not survive. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed as infructuous. No costs. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 8.9.2004 bnr To 1 The District Collector, Cuddapah. 2 The District Panchayat Officer, &Convenor, District Level Committee, Cuddapah. 3 Chairman, Zilla Parishad & Chairman District Level Committee, Cuddapah. 4 2 CCs to G.P. for Panchayat Raj & Rural Development, High Court Bldgs., Hyderabad (OUT) 5. 2CD copies
