1 S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.1916/2008 (Peeru Singh Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors.) Date of order :: 19.03.2008 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GOPAL KRISHAN VYAS Mr.Ashok Chhangani, for the petitioner. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. Before approaching this Court for extension of time of contract in accordance with the rules, the petitioner has already filed representations before the respondents, which is placed on record as Annexures-6, 7 and 8. It is contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that without deciding the representations of the petitioner, respondents are going to grant a contract for collection of royalty. It is further contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that under the Rules petitioner is entitled to contract for a period of two years whereas he has been granted the contract for one year which is in contravention of the Rules. In this view of the matter, I deem it just and proper to direct the respondents to decide the representations of the petitioner prior to finalization of the tenders in pursuance of Notice Inviting Tenders Annexure-10 dated 04.03.2008. At the 2 time of deciding the said representations, the circular dated 20.01.1998 issued by the Director, Mines & Geology, Rajasthan Jaipur, may also be considered. However, the petitioner is at liberty to file copy of this writ petition along with his fresh representation for consideration by the respondents. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of.
