HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No.9571 of 2011 ORDER: The grievance raised by the petitioner in the present writ petition is also subject matter of an appeal, which is pending before the Director of Mines & Geology, Government of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad, the second respondent herein. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that pursuant to the show cause notices dated 7.7.2009 and 2.11.2009 and demand notices dated 10.8.2009 and 19.12.2009, although the petitioner is being permitted to work, but the transport permit is not being issued to it, as a result of which, the petitioner is suffering irreparable loss. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the second respondent to decide the appeal filed by the petitioner in accordance with law, expeditiously, preferably, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. However, inasmuch as the notices dated 10.8.2009 and 19.12.2009 and show cause notices dated 7.7.2009 and 2.11.2009 are the subject matter of the appeal preferred before the second respondent and considering the fact that though the petitioner is being permitted to work, but transport permit is not being issued to him, the respondents are directed to issue necessary transport permit subject to condition of the petitioner depositing 1/3rd of the amount in demand, i.e. Rs.2,28,721/-. However, it is made clear that the issuance of such transport permit is subject to the outcome of the appeal filed by the petitioner before the second respondent. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA,J DATE: 11th April, 2011 Note: Furnish c.c. in three days. B/o pnb
