THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.6869 of 2007 Dated: 05.04.2007 Between: M/s Super Metal Industry, Hyderabad. ..... PETITIONER AND The Deputy Director of Mines & Geology, Hyderabad, .....RESPONDENT THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S. RAO WRIT PETITION No.6869 of 2007 ORDER: By impugned order dated 23.03.2007, the respondent cancelled the quarry lease for stone in an extent of Acs.2.00 comprised in survey Nos.182 and 183 situated at Jalpally Village, Saroornagar Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, granted to the petitioner, inter alia, on the ground that the quarry allegedly is situated within the prohibitory distance from human habitation, apart from other grounds. It is alleged that the respondent failed to issue notice before initiating action for cancellation of the quarry lease. A perusal of the impugned order, however, belies any such contention. This Court hastens to add that against the order of cancellation of quarry lease, the petitioner has an effective remedy by way of appeal under Rule 35 of the Andhra Pradesh Minor Mineral Concession Rules, 1966. Liberty is given to the petitioner to avail the same. Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the writ petition is dismissed with the above observations. No costs. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 05th April, 2007 ghn
