THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE P.S.NARAYANA W.P.No.19084 of 2007 Date : 8-2-2008 Between : Y.Sudharshan Raju .. Petitioner And Assistant Director, Mines & Geology, Anakapally and another .. Respondents THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE P.S.NARAYANA W.P.No.19084 of 2007 ORDER: 1. This Court issued rule nisi on 27-9-2007. 2. The Writ Petition is filed for a Writ of Mandamus declaring the order of the 1st respondent in issuing the demand notice No.1120/Q/2007 dated 20-6- 2007 as illegal, arbitrary and violative of principles of natural justice and contrary to the provisions of Rule 26 of A.P. Mines and Minerals Concession Rules, 1966 and also contrary to the orders in W.P.No.11830/2007 dated 8-7-2007 and to set aside the same and pass such other suitable orders. 3. The order made by this Court in W.P.No.11830/2007 dated 8-6-2007 is brought to the notice of this Court and the operative portion of the said order reads as hereunder:- “Accordingly, the impugned order dated 26-5- 2007 is hereby set aside and the Writ Petition is disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner to submit his explanation to the show cause notice dated 11-5-2007 on or before 15-6-2007. If the explanation is submitted by the petitioner within the time fixed above, the respondent shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law afresh. No costs.” The relevant portion of the present impugned order is brought to the notice of this Court wherein except just referring to the show cause notice and the explanation, no reasons had been recorded. When quasi judicial authorities are expected to deal with the matters they are expected to consider the explanation and record appropriate reasons. The main grievance ventilated by the writ petitioner is that despite the fact that the impugned order dated 26-5-2007 had been set aside by this Court in W.P.No.11830/2007, except just referring to the show cause notice and the explanation, just an addition of two paragraphs in between, the same order had been repeated again. This would not amount to due application of mind. This Court is not inclined to express any opinion touching the merits an demerits of the matter, but however since the order dated 26-5-2007 had been set aside by this Court and the Writ Petition was disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner to submit explanation to the show cause notice 11-5-2007 on or before 15-6-2007 and since it is stated that explanation in fact had been submitted, let the 1st respondent reconsider the same in the light of the explanation submitted, record appropriate reasons and take appropriate decision in this regard in accordance with Law. It is needless to say that the impugned order dated 20-6-2007 is hereby set aside. 4. The Writ Petition is allowed to the extent indicated above. No costs. _________________ Justice P.S.Narayana Date : 8-2-2008 AM
