I have heard Sri K.V.R.Krishna Sharma, learned Counsel for the petitioners, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Mines and Geology representing respondent Nos.1, 3 and 4 and Mr.V.Ch.Naidu, learned Counsel for respondent No.6. In representation, dated 29-01-2009, submitted by petitioner No.1 to respondent No.2, it is inter alia stated that the leaseholders of the land situated adjacent to the land of petitioner No.1 have been using modern equipment and explosive material to blast the rocks and that these blasting operations have been causing danger to the lives of human beings and cattle. Responding to the said representation, respondent No.2 is said to have addressed letter, dated 16- 02-2009, to respondent No.3 wherein he requested the latter to take necessary action as per the Rules and inform the same to him. The grievance of the petitioners is that despite the said letter addressed by respondent No.2, respondent No.3 has not taken any action so far and the alleged illegal activity of respondent Nos.8 to 12 is continuing unabated. In the facts and circumstances of the case, respondent No.3 is directed to consider the representation of petitioner No.1 and the letter of respondent No.2 and take appropriate action in accordance with law to ensure that the mining and crushing activities being carried on by respondent Nos.8 to 12 do not cause inconvenience or danger to the lives of human beings and cattle. Subject to the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the Writ Petition, WPMP.No.9196 of 2010 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. _____________________ C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy, J Dated 30th March, 2010 lur
