IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) THURSDAY, THE TWENTY NINETH DAY OF JULY TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.10737 of 2006 Between: M/s. The Kalajyothi Tree Growers Mutually Aided Cooperative Society Limited, Anantapur District. … Petitioner And The Director of Mines and Geology, Hyderabad & others. … Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Sri Pannala Srinivas Counsel for respondents 1-3: AGP for Industries & Commerce Counsel for respondent No.6: Smt. N. Sobha The Court made the following: THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.10737 of 2006 ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare grant of No Objection Certificate by respondent No.4 in favour of respondent No.6, as illegal and to set aside the consequential grant of lease vide proceedings dated 10.03.2006 by respondent No.1 in favour of respondent No.6 At the hearing, Smt. N. Sobha, learned counsel for respondent No.6, submitted that her client is not interested in operating the lease and therefore the cause on which the writ petition is founded no longer survives. Sri Pannala Srinivas, learned counsel for the petitioner, fairly conceded to this submission. He has, however, stated that respondent No.6 has removed the trees over the land, which was granted to his client under lease. This statement is strongly refuted by the learned counsel for respondent No.6. Inasmuch as respondent No.6 is not stated to be interested in operating the lease, the dispute raised in this writ petition does not survive for adjudication and the writ petition is disposed of as infructuous. If the petitioner has any grievance over the alleged removal of trees by respondent No.6, it is entitled to avail appropriate remedies available to it in law. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition as infructuous, WPMP.Nos.4596, 13409 and 16269 of 2006 and WVMP.No.1139 of 2006 are disposed of as infructuous. __________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 29.07.2010.
