Petitioners submit that they have been issued with
Exhibits P1 and P2 permits by the Geologist for
conducting mining operations in their own property
subject to certain conditions. By Exhibits P5 to P8
notices, the 1st respondent has required the petitioner to
file an explanation as to why the amounts mentioned
therein should not be recovered by way of royalty.

recovery proceedings pursuant to Exhibits P5 to P8
pending consideration of Exhibits P9 to P11 objections.
I heard learned counsel for the petitioner and
learned Government Pleader.
In the result, the, the writ petition is disposed of
directing the 1st respondent to pass final orders pursuant
to Exhibits P5 to P8, after hearing the petitioners
