The petitioner has applied for grant of quarry lease under an application dated 01-12-2009 in terms of G.O.Ms.No.181 Industries & Commerce (Mines-I) Department, dated 28-5-1998. 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 though a report from the 5th respondent is called for by the 3rd respondent-Assistant Director of Mines and Geology, Palamaner, Chittoor district, the report is not sent in terms of the G.O. directly to the 3rd respondent within the time prescribed. The learned counsel for the petitioner relied upon similar grievance redressed by order of this Court in Writ Petition No.1278 of 2011 dated 28-01-2011 and requests for a similar direction. 3. The learned Government Pleader for Revenue, on instructions, states that the matter has been examining by the 5th respondent-Tahsildar and an appropriate report will be sent to the 3rd respondent- Assistant Director of Mines and Geology. 4. In view of the above, the 5th respondent- Tahsildar is required to act in term of G.O.Ms.No.181, dated 28-5-1998, referred to above, without further loss of time. 5. The writ petition is, therefore, disposed of directing the 5th respondent-Tahsildar, Kuppam Mandal, Chittoor district, to send the report directly to the 3rd respondent-Assistant Director of Mines and Geology, Palamaner, Chittoor district, in terms of G.O.Ms.No.181, dated 28-5-1998, within thirty days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
