BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER, SRI.P.N.SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 08/10/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: VK ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````` W.P.(C) No. 30867 of 2010 G ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 8th day of October, 2010 J U D G M E N T Challenge in this writ petition is against Ext.P5, a show cause notice issued by the third respondent calling upon the petitioner to show cause why the sand dealer's licence shall not be cancelled. Ext.P5 being only a show cause notice, in my view, it is for the petitioner to show cause in response to Ext.P5 and thereafter, it is for the Geologist to consider the objection and take a decision in the matter untrammeled by the directions, if any, issued by the District Collector. With that liberty, this writ petition is disposed of. In the meanwhile, the sand, if any, available with the petitioner shall not be auctioned. It is clarified that the judgment will not enable the petitioner to deal with the sand available in any manner till the matter is decided by the authorities.
