THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY W.P.No.7098 of 2006 Dt.13-04-2006 Between: B.Vamshi Krishna ..Petitioner and 1.Govt. of A.P. rep. By its Principal Secretary, Department of Industries & Commerce (M1) Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad and others. ..Respondents. THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY W.P.No.7098 of 2006 Oral Order: Admittedly petitioner appears to have made an application on 10-03-2006 for grant of mining lease over an extent of Ac.200.00 gts. in Sy.Nos.30, 39, 43, 44 and 45 of Sarangaraopally village, Kasigi Mandal, Mahabubnagar District after obtaining the consent of the Pattedars for a period of 20 years for excavation of feldspar mineral. The 6th respondent was granted mining lease in G.O.Ms.No.160 Industries & Commerce (M1) Department dated 26-07-2004 and accordingly he entered into an agreement with the Mines and Minerals Department. Thus, the present writ petition is filed obviously with an intention to forestall the mining operations of the 6th respondent on the premise that if he will be granted mining lease he cannot be a competitor in the business for the excavation of feldspar mineral. Petition lacks bona fides. Questioning the mining lease granted to the 6th respondent the present writ petition has been filed nearly after 1 year 9 months, which cannot be entertained and accordingly dismissed. No costs. ________________ A.GOPAL REDDY, J. 13-04-2006 Murthy
