By consent, the writ petition itself is taken up for final disposal. 2. The petitioner has come up with the present writ petition for a Mandamus directing the first respondent to declare the result of Tender cum Auction processed vide the first respondent's Notice published in Thinathanthi Daily, dated 26.01.2011 in respect of the stone quarry situated at Survey No.315/2 Part (Extent 1.20.0 Hec), Chinnaluppai, Vedachandur Taluk, Dindigul District. 3. The case of the petitioner is that in pursuance of the notification with regard to the stone quarry, he submitted an application in respect of stone quarry situated at Survey No.315/2 Part (Extent 1.20.0 Hec), Chinnaluppai, Vedachandur Taluk, Dindigul District. Though the sealed tender in respect of the other quarry was opened, as far as the said village is concerned it was not opened. The https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 petitioner is hopeful that he will be the highest bidder. Hence, the petitioner has come up with the present writ petition for the relief as stated earlier. 4. On notice, a counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the first respondent stating that in view of objections raised by the villagers, the matter has been referred to the Revenue Divisional Officer to conduct an enquiry and to file a report. After the said report necessary communication will be sent to the individuals including the petitioner, who took part in the auction. 5. In view of the above stated position, I am not inclined to grant the relief sought for by the petitioner. Hence, the writ petition stands dismissed. However, as and when any orders are passed by the first respondent, it is needless to say that the petitioner can workout his remedy in the manner known to law. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed. No costs.
