The aforesaid grievance raised and the c hallenge made is on the basis that the permit holder by virtue of the permit and extension granted by the D.F.O., Kamrup East Division, has been extracting sand from the Mohal of the petitioner. On instructions received, Sri R. K. Bora, learned Govt.

In view of the above, I dispose of the writ petition by permitting the petitione r to raise his grievances before the concerned authorities i.e. the D.F.O., Naga on Division i.e. the settling authority of the petitioner and the D.F.O., Kamrup East Division which had granted the permit in question. Once the petitioner mak es an approach to the said authorities, the concerned authorities will deal with the matter in accordance with law and with utmost expedition to ensure that the petitioner has every opportunity to operate the Mohal leased out to him without any hindrance or obstruction. This will dispose of the writ petition.
