THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION No. 31587 OF 2011 ORDER: Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner, learned Government Pleader for Mines and Geology appearing for respondent Nos.1 to 3 and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for respondent Nos.4 and 5. The petitioner has applied for grant of quarry lease under the application dated 17.09.2010 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 in spite of receipt of No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Tahsildar, Shankarapatnam Mandal, Karimnagar District (fifth respondent), the Revenue Divisional Officer, Karimnagar District (fourth respondent) is not sending an NOC to the Assistant Director of Mines and Geology, Karimnagar (second respondent) in terms of the aforesaid G.O. within the time prescribed. The learned counsel for the petitioner relied upon a similar grievance redressed by an order of this Court in W.P.No.22568 of 2011, dated 10.08.2011 and requests for a similar direction. In view of the above, the fourth respondent shall act in term of G.O.Ms.No.181, dated 28.05.1998 without further loss of time. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of directing the fourth respondent to send the NOC directly to the second respondent, in terms of G.O.Ms.No.181, dated 28.05.1998, within thirty days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No order as to costs. VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J Date:12.12.2011 usd
