THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.10223 OF 2010 Dated 29th April, 2010 Between: M/s.Imperial Granites Private Limited …Petitioner And The Government of Andhra Pradesh and 6 others. …Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : Smt.Shoba.N Counsel for respondent Nos.1 to 6: AGP for Industries & Commerce Counsel for respondent No.7: ----- The Court made the following: Order: This Writ Petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the action of respondent Nos.1 to 6, in rejecting the petitioner’s application, dated 30-03-2007, for grant of quarry lease of Black Granite over an extent of Acs.3.75 cents in Survey Nos.123 & 121/2, Gurijapalli Village, Santhamanguluru Mandal, Prakasam District, as illegal and arbitrary. At the hearing, it has come out that against the impugned order, the petitioner has a right of revision under Rule 35-A of the Andhra Pradesh Minor Mineral Concession Rules, 1966 (for short ‘the Rules’). As the said remedy is efficacious, I am not inclined to entertain the Writ Petition. However, in view of the apprehension of the petitioner that in pursuance of rejection of his application for lease, respondent No.2 may grant lease in favour of respondent No.7, in order to facilitate the petitioner to file a revision and obtain appropriate orders therein, respondent No.2 is directed not to grant lease in favour of anyone including respondent No.7 for a period of two weeks from today. Subject to the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP No.13134 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dated 29th April, 2010 Note: CC in three days. (B/o) lur
