WPMS No. 1263 of 2011 Hon’ble Tarun Agarwala, J. Ms. Pushpila Bisht, Advocate for the Petitioner. Mr. H.M. Raturi, Standing Counsel for the State. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, the court is not inclined to entertain the writ petition at this stage. The mere fact that certain recommendations have been made by the department to the competent authority does not mean that the petitioner’s application has been rejected for grant of mining lease. The application of the petitioner is pending consideration and the competent authority will consider and decide the matter expeditiously. The writ petition is dismissed at this stage.
