CWP No. 7392 of 2010 08.7.2011 Present: Mr. Deepak Kaushal, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Vivek Thakur, Addl. A.G. with Mr. Rajesh Mandhotra, Dy. A.G. for respondents No. 1 to 3. Mr. Anil Chauhan, Advocate, for respondent No. 4. Mr. Trilok Jamwal, Advocate, for respondent No. 5. The petitioner by means of this petition has challenged the action of the respondents/State in directing the Electricity Board to disconnect the electricity supply of the stone crusher of the petitioner. 2. The stand of the State is that the stone crusher unit was granted registration for a specific period of two years only that too on the basis that he would be using raw material from the auctioned portion of Sukar Khad which falls in Hamirpur District. Thereafter petitioner has not applied for the renewal of the permanent registration. In the petition the petitioner has mentioned that he is purchasing raw material from Sh. Sunil Kumar but according to the Mining Officer the stone available at the mine of Sh. Sunil Kumar has less than 30% mineral and this is not sufficient to run the stone crusher. A show cause notice was also issued to the petitioner on 6.9.2010 to explain what was the legal source of raw material, but he could not give proper explanation. It has also come on record that from 2009, without registration the petitioner has been running his -2- stone crusher unit as is apparent from the electricity bills of the petitioner company. Therefore, the petition is dismissed with cost assessed at ` 20,000/- (rupees twenty thousand only). 3. In case any mining lease application has been moved or is now moved by the petitioner the same shall be considered by the respondents strictly in accordance with law and while considering the same respondents shall also take into consideration the fact that petitioner without mining lease had been running the stone crusher. Any fresh application for renewal by the petitioner shall be considered only after payment of the costs levied hereinabove. Interim order is vacated. Petition stands disposed of, so also the pending application(s), if any. (Deepak Gupta), Judge. (Sanjay Karol), Judge. July 8, 2011 (PK)
