Counsel for the writ petitioner however submits that the order passed by the R.D.O. on 21.12.06 is not properly followed and sand mining is going on uninterruptedly. In the circumstances, we are inclined to dispose of this writ petition with direction to the R.D.O. as well as to the District Collector to take note of the complaint and see whether there is any violation of the order passed by the R.D.O. on 21/12/06 . With the above direction this writ petition is disposed of. K.S. RADHAKRISHNAN, (AG. CHIEF JUSTICE). M.N. KRISHNAN, JUDGE. ul/-
