The Deputy Director of Mines and Geology Kurnool, Kurnool District and Others …Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE B.SESHASAYANA REDDY W.P.No. 1036 OF 2005 O R D E R : 1. This writ petition has been filed by Smt. K.Umadevi assailing the inaction of the respondents No. 1 to 4 in conducting the joint Survey to consider his application for grant of Mining Lease. 2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Government Pleader for Mines and Geology and learned counsel appearing for 5th respondents. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the respondents No. 1 and 2 having issued notice for conducting joint survey of the land for which application has been made by the petitioner are not proceeded with the Joint Survey on the ground of some objections being made by the 5th respondent. 4. Learned counsel appearing for 5th respondent submits that the 5th respondent also filed an application for grant of Mining Lease and his application is also to be considered by respondents No. 1 and 2. 5. The fact that the petitioner applied for grant of mining lease is not in dispute. It appears the 2nd respondent Assistant Director of Mines and Geology, Banaganapalle, Kurnool District has also issued notice to the petitioner directing him to be present at the time of Joint Survey and inspection. 6. In that view of the matter, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition giving direction to respondents No.1 to 4 to conduct Joint Survey and Inspection of the lands for which application has been filed by the petitioner as well as 5th respondent for mining lease and pass appropriate orders. 7. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _________________________ B.Seshasayana Reddy, J. 2nd November, 2005.
