The Mandal Revenue Officer, in fact, granted NOC in favour of the petitioner and the same was forwarded to the third respondent vide proceedings, dated 27-07- 2006. The fourth respondent also seems to have filed an Application for grant of quarry lease for road metal in the same area on 20-07- 2007, much later to the Application of the petitioner. Now the grievance of the petitioner is that ignoring his Application on priority basis and also the certificate issued by the Mandal Revenue Officer, the second respondent vide his proceedings, dated 27-05-2008 granted quarry lease for road metal in favour of the fourth respondent. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioner carried the matter in Revision before the fifth respondent and the same is pending. If the Revision filed by the petitioner is not disposed of within a reasonable time, he would suffer irreparable loss and injury. Under these circumstances, without expressing any opinion on merits, the fifth respondent is directed to dispose of the Revision Petiton purported to have been filed by the petitioner on 28-06-2010, being aggrieved by the order passed by the second respondent on 27- 05-2008 granting quarry lease in favour of the fourth respondent for road metal over an extent of Hec.2-00 in Sy.No.207/1 of Gontivanipalem village, Addateegla Mandal, East Godavari District, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and communicate the same to the petitioner.
