In view of the subsequent order dated 11.11.2011 clarifying the earlier order and in view of the statement made by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner has been confining to the mining activities to the leased area, no further orders are necessary except to record the statement of the learned counsel for the petitioner and restrain respondents 3 and 4 from interfering with mining activities of the petitioner, so long as the petitioner confines his activities to the leased area granted under G.O.Ms.No.212 dated 30.06.1999.
