HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION No.30901 of 2011 Date: November 30, 2011 Between: Uppaluri Jayaraju … Petitioner And 1. The Government of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by its Secretary, Industries & Commerce Department, Hyderabad & 5 others. … Respondents * * * HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION No.30901 of 2011 O R D E R: This writ petition is filed ventilating the grievance that the respondent authorities are not notifying sand quarry reaches of Valluripalem, Damaluru, Madduru, Gani Atmakur sand reaches of Thotlavalluru, Ibrahimpatnam, Kankipadu Mandal of Krishna District. 2. On the earlier occasion learned Government Pleader for Mines and Geology was asked to get instructions. Now, the learned Government Pleader on the basis of instructions submits that quarry lease in all these above reaches on earlier occasions are found to be not fetching appropriate price commensurate with the prevailing conditions. In fact, the writ petition by one of the successful tenderers for one of the reaches out of the above was heard and dismissed by me in W.P. No.26641 of 2011 on 15.11.2011 upholding the right of the Government to cancel the auctions and go for fresh auction. The learned Government Pleader therefore submits that the Government is actively taking necessary steps for notifying the sand quarry reaches for auction and for that purpose joint inspection for ascertaining actual quantities of deposits of sand is being undertaken and after completing necessary statutory requirements, sand reaches will be auctioned. It is specifically stated that the District Level Committee and District Administration is putting all efforts for conducting auctions in the said reaches. 3. It is therefore clear from the above that there is no enforceable inaction on the part of the respondents and as such petitioners’ grievance alleging inaction is clearly misplaced. 4. The writ petition therefore is disposed of recording the submissions of the respondents as above that respondents will take expeditious steps for conducting fresh auctions. As a sequel to the disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P. No.38328 of 2011 shall stand dismissed. No order as to costs. ____________________________ VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J. Date: November 30, 2011.
