The Hon’ble Sri Justice C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy Writ Petition Nos.7449, 7464 and 7476 of 2010 Dated 6th April, 2010 WP.No.7449 of 2010 Between: M/s.The Sand Quarry Boatsmen and Fishermen Co-operative Society Limited No.75, Rep. by its President Sri Lanka Kumara Swamy. …Petitioner And 1.Government of Andhra Pradesh and 4 others. …Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Mr.G.Simhadri Counsel for the Respondents: GP for Mines and Geology The Court made the following: Common Order: In these three Writ Petitions, the petitioners felt aggrieved by the action of the respondents in not renewing the sand quarry leases granted in their favour for the second year. At the hearing, the learned Government Pleader for Mines and Geology representing the respondents, on instructions submitted that in terms of a policy decision taken by respondent No.1, all the mining leases given in favour of the lessees in East Godavari District have been terminated by orders passed on 26th March, 2010. This statement of the learned Government Pleader is not contradicted by the learned Counsel for the petitioners. Inasmuch as the leases granted in favour of the petitioners have been cancelled, the relief claimed in these Writ Petitions cannot be granted and the Writ Petitions are, therefore, dismissed. The petitioners are, however, given liberty to question the termination of their leases, if they so desire. As a sequel to dismissal of the Writ Petitions, WPMP.Nos.9592, 9612 and 9624 of 2010, filed by the petitioners for interim relief, are disposed of as infructuous. ___________________________ (C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) 6th April, 2010 Note: Furnish CC in three days.
