Dated this the 27th day of September, 2010
J U D G M E N T
Petitioner complains that there is inordinate delay on the part
of the first respondent in passing orders on Ext.P2 application made
for the purpose of obtaining a permit for mining ordinary sand. It is
stated that in spite of obtaining necessary clearance from the 2nd
respondent, first respondent has issued Exts.P6 and P7 requiring
the petitioner to furnish the information sought for therein. The
case of the petitioner is that the informations sought by Exts.P6 and
P7 should have been obtained by the first respondent from the 2nd
respondent. It is with this grievance that this writ petition is filed.
2. Government Pleader has obtained instructions in the
matter. Government Pleader confirms the pendency of Ext.P2
application. Now that Ext.P2 application is pending before the first
respondent, it is directed that the first respondent shall obtain
appropriate clarification/information from the 2nd respondent and
pass orders on Ext.P2 application in accordance with law. This the
first respondent shall do within 4 weeks from the date of production
