THE HIGH COURT OF UTTARAKHAND AT NAINITAL Writ Petition (M/S) No. 1542 of 2010. Virendra Singh Bisht S/O Trilok Singh and others … Petitioners Vs. State of Uttarakhand and another. …Respondents. . Mr. Siddhartha Sah, Advocate, holding brief of Mr. D.C.S.Rawat, Advocate, learned counsel for the petitioners. Mr. K.C.Tiwari, learned Brief Holder for the State-respondents. Date September 01, 2010. Hon’ble B.S.Verma, J. (Interim Relief Application No. 7409 of 2010) Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. By means of this writ petition, the petitioners have sought a writ in the nature of certiorari quashing the order dated 13-7-2010 (Annexure-4) passed by respondent no.2 so far as it relates to the petitioners. By the impugned order, the Collector Pauri Garhwal has directed the Sub Divisional Officers of the district to stop the mining work by the mining lease holders for public safety reasons at present. Learned State counsel has submitted that an efficacious statutory remedy to file appeal against the order passed by the Collector is available to the petitioners under Section 77 of the Uttaranchal Minor Mineral (Concession) Rules 2001 (Adaptation and Modification) Order 2001. The petitioners have an alternate remedy to file an appeal before the Commissioner of the Division, therefore, I am not inclined to entertain the writ petition. The writ petition is dismissed on the ground of alternate remedy available to the petitioners. (B.S.Verma,J.) RCP
