THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WP NO. 27331 OF 2011 Date of Judgment: 14.11.2011 Between: H. Mohamed Ismail …Petitioner and The Director of Mines & Geology and others ..Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WP NO. 27331 OF 2011 ORDER: Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Government Pleader for Mines and Geology appearing for respondents 1 and 3 and learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for respondents 2 and 4. The petitioner has applied for grant of quarry lease under the application dated 25.2.2011 in terms of G.O.Ms.No. 181 Industries & Commerce (Mines-I) Department, dated 28.05.1998. An expeditious disposal of such application is regulated by the procedure prescribed under the said G.O. The main grievance of the petitioner is that though the report from the 4th respondent is called for by the 3rd respondent-Assistant Director of Mines and Geology, but the report is not sent in terms of the G.O. directly to the 3rd respondent within the time prescribed. The learned counsel for the petitioner relied upon similar grievance redressed by order of this Court in Writ Petition No. 22568 of 2011 dated 10.08.2011 and requests for a similar direction. Learned Government Pleader for Revenue, on instructions, submits that the 4th respondent has already sent his report to the 3rd respondent on 24.10.2011. In this view of the matter, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 3rd respondent to take appropriate decision on the application of the petitioner basing upon the report sent by the 4th respondent in terms of the G.O.Ms.No.181, dated 28-05-1998. No costs. _________________________ VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J Dt. 14.11.2011 KR
