THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.33390 of 2010 ORDER: In this writ petition, petitioner seeks a mandamus declaring the action of respondents 2, 3 and 6 in not taking steps for removing the waste dumps caused by respondents 4 and 5 in his leased area of 2.000 Hectares covered by Survey No.124, R.L. Puram Village, Chimakurthy Mandal, Prakasam District, as illegal and arbitrary, and he questioned show cause notice bearing No.31282/R3.1/2010, dated 31.07.2010, issued to him in regard to determination of lease in question. The petitioner is granted quarry lease for black galaxy granite over an extent of 2.000 hectares of land covered by Survey No.124 of R.L.Puram Village, Chimakurthy Mandal, Prakasam District, for a period of 20 years. The lease deed was executed on 06.01.2005 and the lease is in force up to 05.01.2025. The second respondent - Director of Mines and Geology, Hyderabad, issued the impugned notice to the petitioner to show cause why the lease granted to him shall not be determined on the allegations that he has kept the quarry idle since execution of quarry lease deed, not erected the boundary pillars, not maintained the production despatch registers, not submitted the quarterly returns in Form ‘F’, not paid the mineral revenue arrears etc. It is the case of the petitioner that in response to the impugned notice, he submitted explanation through letters, dated 08.09.2010 and 14.09.2010. Whether the petitioner is prevented by any valid reason for not operating the quarry is a matter to be examined by the respondents. When it is stated that the petitioner has already responded to the impugned notice by way of aforesaid letters, there is no reason to entertain this writ petition at this stage. If there are any obstructions by private parties, it is for the petitioner to take appropriate steps by availing civil remedies available under law, but, on the said ground, he cannot approach this Court at this stage. For the aforesaid reasons, I do not find any merit in this writ petition to admit the same. It is made clear that if any explanation is submitted by the petitioner, it is open to the respondents to consider the same and pass appropriate orders. Subject to the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 9th FEBRUARY, 2011. kvni
