Chhaya for petitioner and learned AGP<br \/>\n\tMs. Jirga Jhaveri for State Authority in SCA No.8437 of 2010 and SCA<br \/>\n\tNo. 8441 of 2010 as well as learned AGP Mr. Anand L. Sharma for<br \/>\n\tState Authority in SCA No. 8438 and 8440 of 2010.\n<\/p>\n<p>Petitioner<br \/>\n\tin this group of petitions has challenged action\/inaction on the<br \/>\n\tpart of respondents. Earlier, Special Civil Application NO. 654\/10,<br \/>\n\t655\/10, 656\/10 and 656\/10 were preferred by petitioner before this<br \/>\n\tcourt wherein orders have been passed by this Court on 28th<br \/>\n\tJanuary, 2010. Order passed by this Court in SCA No. 654 of 2010<br \/>\n\tdated 28.1.2010 is quoted as under:\n<\/p>\n<p> 1.\tThe<br \/>\n\tpetitioner herein has prayed to direct the respondents to decide the<br \/>\n\tapplication dated 05.10.2005 of the petitioner  for mining lease and<br \/>\n\tfurther to direct the respondents to give priority for deciding the<br \/>\n\tapplication without considering the notification dated 17.12.2009.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.\tThe<br \/>\n\tpetitioner on 05.10.2005 preferred an application under Form I of<br \/>\n\tthe Mineral Concession Rules, 1960 seeking mining lease of Mineral<br \/>\n\tQuartz admeasuring area of 4 hectares situated at Survey No. 326(3)<br \/>\n\tvillage sim of Naroda, Panchmahals before the Collector, Mining<br \/>\n\tDepartment.  It is the case of the petitioner that though the<br \/>\n\tpetitioner fulfills the requirement for  Mining lease to be<br \/>\n\tallotted, the respondent authorities have not paid any heed inspite<br \/>\n\tof opinions from experts in his favour.  Further the respondent has<br \/>\n\tbeen inviting new applications without deciding the petitioner&#8217;s<br \/>\n\tapplication which is pending since long.  Hence this petition is<br \/>\n\tpreferred.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.\tMr.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tMansuri, learned advocate appearing for the petitioner has submitted<br \/>\n\tthat the respondent no. 1 has passed notification on 17.12.2009<br \/>\n\tinviting applications for mining lease for survey no. 326\/3 of sim<br \/>\n\tof Naroda, Khanpur.  He has submitted that as per section 11(2) of<br \/>\n\tthe Act the applicant whose application is received earlier shall<br \/>\n\thave the preferential right to be considered for grant of mining<br \/>\n\tlease over the applicant whose application is received later.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.\tThis<br \/>\n\tcourt has heard learned advocates for the parties and perused the<br \/>\n\tpapers on record. As a result of the said exercise, this court is of<br \/>\n\tthe view that in the interest of justice, the following directions<br \/>\n\tare required to be issued:\n<\/p>\n<p>(I)\tThe<br \/>\n\tapplication of the petitioner pursuant to the notification dated<br \/>\n\t17.12.2009 shall be considered within a period of three months from<br \/>\n\tthe last date of receipt of applications.\n<\/p>\n<p>(II)\tIt<br \/>\n\tis made clear that this court has not entered into the merits of the<br \/>\n\tmatter.\n<\/p>\n<p>(III)\tThe<br \/>\n\trespondent authority shall decide the application of the petitioner<br \/>\n\tin accordance with law and relevant provisions of the Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.\tWith<br \/>\n\tthe above directions and observations, this petition is disposed of.<br \/>\n\tDirect service is permitted. No costs.\n<\/p>\n<p>Learned<br \/>\n\tAdvocate Mr. Chhaya for petitioner has submitted that in view of the<br \/>\n\torder of this court, on 8th February, 2010,<br \/>\n\trepresentation was made by petitioner which is at annexure D page 53<br \/>\n\taddressed to Joint Secretary, Industries and Mines Department, New<br \/>\n\tSachivalaya, Gandhinagar  which has been received by other side but<br \/>\n\ttill date, no decision has been taken by respondents and, therefore,<br \/>\n\tpetitioners have filed present petitions. Learned Advocate Mr.<br \/>\n\tChhaya also submitted that inspite of clear directions issued by<br \/>\n\tthis court in earlier group of petitions in respect of applications<br \/>\n\tof petitioner dated 5.10.2005 in special civil application no. 654<br \/>\n\tof 2010, 28.8.2008 in special civil application no. 656 of 2010,<br \/>\n\t17.1.2007 in special civil application no. 657 of 2010 and 29.9.2006<br \/>\n\tin special civil application no. 655 of 2010, respondent authority<br \/>\n\thas not decided representations and applications of petitioner<br \/>\n\twithin reasonable period and, therefore, present petitions have been<br \/>\n\tfiled by petitioners.\n<\/p>\n<p>In<br \/>\n\tview of this back ground, considering directions issued by this<br \/>\n\tcourt earlier in para 4 of order dated 28.1.2010, it is directed to<br \/>\n\trespondent NO.2 Commissioner, Department of Geology and Mines, Udyog<br \/>\n\tBhavan, Gandhinagar and respondent no .3 District Collector,<br \/>\n\tPanchmahals posted at Godhra, Geology and Mines Department to<br \/>\n\tconsider representation made by petitioner on 8th<br \/>\n\tFebruary, 2010 along with original application of petitioner and<br \/>\n\tdecide it and examine grievance of petitioner and thereafter to pass<br \/>\n\tappropriate reasoned order in accordance with law within the period<br \/>\n\tof one month from the date of receiving copy of present order and<br \/>\n\tcommunicate decision to petitioner immediately thereafter. This<br \/>\n\tCourt has considered fact that earlier, three months time was given<br \/>\n\tto respondent authority, however, yet, respondent authority has not<br \/>\n\tdecided representation and original applications of petitioner and,<br \/>\n\ttherefore, now, respondent no.2 and 3 both are directed to see that<br \/>\n\tthe representation made by petitioner on 8.2.2010 along with<br \/>\n\toriginal application is decided by them within time stipulated by<br \/>\n\tthis court by giving priority to this matter within one month from<br \/>\n\tdate of receiving copy of present order of this court and then to<br \/>\n\tcommunicate decision to petitioner.\n<\/p>\n<p>In<br \/>\n\tview of these observations and directions, these petitions are<br \/>\n\tdisposed of by this court without expressing any opinion on merits.<br \/>\n\tDSP.\n<\/p>\n<p>(H.K.\n<\/p>\n<p>Rathod,J.)<\/p>\n<p>Vyas<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   Top<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat High Court Prashant vs State on 16 August, 2010 Author: H.K.Rathod,&amp;Nbsp;
