HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE A. RAMALINGESWARA RAO WRIT PETITION No. 6326 OF 2004
ORDER:
This Writ Petition was filed challenging the action of the first respondent in issuing proceedings RC.No.B/2622/03, dated 28.10.2003. Under the aforesaid order, the Mandal Revenue Officer, first respondent addressed a letter to the Assistant Director of Mines and Geology, second respondent herein requesting to grant quarry lease to Respondents 6 to 9.
Now, the learned Government Pleader based on the written instructions submitted that M/s. PSR Granites represented by its proprietor Sri P.Sridhar made applications on 19.08.2003 for grant of quarry lease in Sy.No.1/1 of Pocharam village, Khanapur Mandal, Warangal district for a period of 20 years. Since the said land falls under the Reserve Forest Block, Khanapur-1 notified under Section 4 of the Andhra Pradesh Forest Act, 1967 and Pakhal Wild Life Sanctuary declared under Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972, the official respondents decided not to grant quarry lease and pursuant to the same, the unofficial respondents have withdrawn the applications for grant of quarry lease.
In view of the same, the learned Counsel for the petitioners as well as the learned Government Pleader submitted that nothing remains for adjudication in the Writ Petition and the same may be dismissed as infructuous.
Having regard to the submissions made by the learned Counsel on either side, the Writ Petition is dismissed as having become infructuous.
Miscellaneous petitions pending consideration if any in the Writ Petition shall stand closed. No order as to costs.
