HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY W.P.No.3614 of 2009 Date : 27-4-2011 Between : M.Sharath Kumar Reddy .. Petitioner And The Government of Andhra Pradesh, Represented by its Secretary, Industries and Commerce Department, Hyderabad and others .. Respondents Counsel for petitioner : Sri P.Vijaya Lakshmi for Smt.N.Shoba Counsel for respondents : A.G.P. for Mines & Geology The Court made the following : ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed for a mandamus to set-aside Memo No.15846/M.II(1)/2008-1, dated 5-12-2008 and show cause notice dated 27-12-2008 of respondent No.2. At the hearing, learned counsel for the petitioner fairly stated that the impugned show cause notice was issued as a consequence of cancellation of No Objection Certificate by the District Collector, Chittoor and that the said order of cancellation has not been questioned by the petitioner as a copy of the same was not served on him. In my opinion, the Writ Petition is premature and the same cannot be entertained against the show cause notice. It is not the pleaded case of the petitioner that respondent No.2 inherently lacks jurisdiction to issue the show cause notice. The petitioner is entitled to file appropriate explanation to the show cause notice apart from questioning the order canceling the No Objection Certificate. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of without going into the merits of the case with liberty to the petitioner to submit his explanation to the show cause notice dated 27-12-2008. Liberty is also given to the petitioner to question the order canceling the No Objection Certificate. If the petitioner files his explanation within four weeks from today, respondent No.2 shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. As a sequel, WPMP No.4711/2009 is disposed of as infructuous. ____________________ C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy.,J Date : 27-4-2011 AM
