The Hon’ble Sri Justice C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy Writ Petition No.7133 of 2010 Dated 30th March, 2010 Between: N.Kishore Reddy …Petitioner And 1.The Assistant Director of Mines and Geology, Yerraguntla Village and Mandal, Kadapa District and another. …Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner : Mr.K.Soma Konda Reddy Counsel for the Respondents: GP for Mines and Geology The Court made the following: Order: The grievance of the petitioner in this Writ Petition is that his representation, dated 22-03-2010, made to respondent No.1 for extension of lease period for 86 days, during which he was allegedly prevented from carrying on mining operations, has not been disposed of. At the hearing, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Mines and Geology submitted that there is no provision either in the extant rules or the terms of the agreement, providing for extension of lease period for whatsoever reason. In my considered view, respondent No.1 ought to have given appropriate reply to the petitioner’s representation. In this view of the matter, without going into the merits of the case, respondent No.1 is directed to consider the petitioner’s representation, dated 22-03-2010, in accordance with law and communicate his decision thereon within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP.No.9214 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. _____________________ C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy, J Dated 30th March, 2010 lur
