THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 20/05/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P(C) No. 15420 of 2010 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 20th day of May, 2010. J U D G M E N T The petitioner submitted Ext. P1 application before the 1st respondent for licence to stock and sell ordinary sand under the Kerala Minor Mineral Concession Rules. The 1st respondent is not considering the same for want of no objection certificate from the 2nd respondent. Therefore, the petitioner submitted Ext. P2 application before the 2nd respondent for a no objection certificate. The petitioner's grievance in this writ petition is that Ext. P2 is not being considered by the 2nd respondent. 2. After hearing the learned Government Pleader, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P2 in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. However, I hasten to add that I have not considered the eligibility of the petitioner for no objection certificate and it is entirely for the 2nd respondent to consider the eligibility of the petitioner for the same.
