Mr.Rishi Vaishnav, for the respondents DATE OF JUDGMENT : 9th May, 2008. JUDGMENT 1. The grievance raised in the writ petition was that on account of publication of notice inviting application for mining lease was published in “Rajasthan Patrika” Pali edition on 9.1.2006 and stipulated period of 30 days expired on 8.2.2006 and when the petitioner approached the concerned respondent – Mining Authority on 8.2.2006, he found that other applications were taken prior to the SBCWP NO.2181/2006 – AJIT SINGH . V/S THE STATE OF RAJASTHAN AND ORS. JUDGMENT DTD.9.5.2008 2/2 said date and therefore, discrimination was caused on account of one day belated publication of such notice in Pali Edition on 9.1.2006, whereas the same was published in Jodhpur Eduction on 8.1.2006. 2. In the reply filed by the respondent – Department, it has been stated in para (c) of the reply that the petitioner never applied for mine in question on 8.2.2006 or even thereafter. Therefore, there was no question of consideration of his application. 3. In view of this, it appears that no prejudice has been caused to the petitioner since he never applied for mining lease in question. Therefore, the issue as to consequence of one day belated publication in Pali edition of “Rajasthan Patrika” need not be decided in this writ petition. 4. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. (Dr.VINEET KOTHARI)J. Item No.29 Ss/-
