THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA W.P.No. 11599 of 2011 O R D E R: The petitioners are aggrieved by the action of 2nd respondent in issuing tender notification dated 30.3.2011 in relation to Item No.2 pertaining to Chinnamandava Reach, Chintakani Mandal, Khammam District. Learned counsel submits that the petitioners are owners and possessors of agricultural land situated at Chinnamandava village and in case the sand quarrying is allowed to take place, then the petitioners will suffer irreparable loss and their crops would be destroyed. Learned counsel for the respondents, however, submits that the auction has already been taken on 19.4.2011. It has further been submitted by the State Counsel that the auction has been conducted after obtaining all the clearances from different departments in terms of Rule 9(b)(vi) of the A.P. Minor Mineral Concession Rules. In view of the categorical stand of the respondents, I find no merit in the writ petition. The same is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ________________________ JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA DATE: 25-4-2011. MVB.
