THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.17627 OF 2007 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the inaction on the part of respondents in not passing orders for grant of quarry lease for Building Stones and Gravel in favour of the petitioner as per the proceedings of the Tahsildar, Elamanchili dated 12.6.2007 as arbitrary and illegal. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Mines and Geology appearing for the respondents. On a perusal of the letter dated 12.6.2007, addressed by the Tahsildar, Elamanchili, to the Assistant Director of Mines and Geology, shows that the District Collector, Visakhapatnam, has already directed to take necessary action as per the existing procedure on the application of the petitioner for grant of quarry lease for building stones and gravel in Sy.No.247 of Elamanchili village. Pursuant thereto, the Tahsildar, Elamanchili, by proceedings dated 12.6.2007, submitted his report as to the classification and availability of applied area. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion as to the entitlement of the petitioner, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 1st respondent to take further steps on the basis of the proceedings of the Tahsildar, Elamanchili, dated 12.6.2007 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
