HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No.19314 of 2011 ORDER: Heard Sri T.Kistaiah, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader for Mines and Geology appearing for respondent Nos.1 and 3, and also the learned Government Pleader for Revenue appearing for respondent Nos.2 and 4, and with the consent of all the counsel, the writ petition is being disposed of at the admission stage. 2. This writ petition has been filed to declare the action of the 4th respondent-Tahsildar, Irala Mandal, Chittoor District, in not sending his report to the 3rd respondent-Assistant Director of Mines and Geology, Chittoor District, on the application dated 18.11.2010 made by the petitioner for grant of quarry lease, as arbitrary and illegal. 3. It is the case of the petitioner that he made an application dated 18.11.2010 to the 3rd respondent for grant of quarry lease (Black Granite) in Sy.No.785 to an extent of 5.000 Hectares situated at Putramaddi Village of Irala Mandal, Chittoor District. On receipt of the said application, the 3rd respondent referred the same to the 4th respondent through his letters Rc.No.7128/Q/2010 and Rc.No.7127/Q/2010, dated 18.11.2010 to send his report within 30 days from the date of requisition as per the orders issued by the Government in G.O.Ms.No.181, Industries and Commerce (Mines-I) Department, dated 26.05.1998. The grievance of the petitioner is that despite the same 4th respondent did not sent his report so far to the 3rd respondent in the matter. Hence the present writ petition. 4. During the course of hearing, learned counsel for the petitioner placed before this Court a copy of the order dated 28.9.2010 passed by this Court in W.P.No.23363 of 2010, where in identical circumstances, this Court allowed the writ petition directing the Mandal Revenue Officer therein to send his report directly to the Assistant Director of Mines and Geology, as envisaged under G.O.Ms.No.181, Industries and Commerce (Mines-I) Department, dated 28.05.1998. Learned Government Pleader for Mines and Geology and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue fairly conceded to the same. 5. In that view of the matter, this writ petition is allowed directing the 4th respondent-Tahsildar, Irala Mandal, Chittoor District, to send his report directly to the 3rd respondent-Assistant Director of Mines and Geology, Chittoor District, as per the orders in G.O.Ms.No.181, Industries and Commerce (Mines-I) Department, dated 26.05.1998. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA,J Date:11.07.2011 Gsn.
