: 1 : IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 8261 OF 2009 M/s. Vijay Stone Services. ... Petitioner Vs 1. The Collector of Thane & anr. ... Respondents ALONGWITH WRIT PETITIONS NO. 8262/2009, 8263/2009, 8264/2009, 8267/2009, 8270/2009, & WRIT PETITION 8271/2009. Mr. H.S.S. Murthy i/b Mr. Ashutosh Singh for the petitioners. Mr. V.S. Gokhale, AGP with Mr. Vinay Masurkar, GP for the respondents. CORAM: S.B. MHASE & R.M. SAVANT, JJ. DATED : 23RD SEPTEMBER, 2009. P.C.: 1. Heard. The respondents have granted the quarrying licences to the petitioners under the Bombay Minor Mineral Extraction Rules, 1955. Conditions No.35 and 36 of the said Rules are relevant. As per the said conditions, the petitioners are expected to take prior permission from the local self-governments within whose jurisdiction the quarries are located. : 2 : They are also supposed to take no objections from the local Panch Committee and, if the land is a private land, from the occupants of the private lands. Since there is a complaint of non compliance of these conditions, the impugned Notice dated 1st September, 2009, has been issued and it has been informed to the petitioners that there is objection objections of the Village Panch Samiti and, therefore, there is violation of condition No.35 and 36 of the said licences and they were, therefore, informed that till the enquiry by the committee is completed, the said licences are suspended. It is further informed that if it is found that if there is violation, action under section 48(7) of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code of 1966 will be taken. Thus, from the impugned communication it is crystal clear that the directions given are pending the enquiry and after enquiry, appropriate steps will be taken under the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code. 2. We, therefore, find that the Petition, as has been filed, is premature. There is no final order passed by the appropriate authority. Apart from that, even if a final order is passed under section 48(7), still the said order will be appealable under the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code and Writ Petition before this court will, however, not be maintainable. Hence, viewed from any angle, the matter at this stage cannot come before this court. : 3 : 3. However, since the licences of the petitioners have been suspended, we direct the appropriate authority to complete the enquiry in accordance with law within a period of six weeks from today after giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioners. The petitioners are directed to cooperate with the appropriate authority in order that the matter is decided as early as possible. The respective local authorities concerned viz. the Gram Panchayats and/or the Corporations/Municipalities within whose jurisdiction the lands are situated shall be given a hearing in the matter. If the lands of the private occupants have been utilized, then such private occupants shall also be heard in the matter by the said appropriate authority. 4. With the above directions, we dispose of all the above Petitions. Sd/- Sd/- (R.M. SAVANT, J.) (S.B. MHASE, J.)
