Verma (S.C. Mines)\n                                          -----\n11\/17.03.2010<\/pre>\n<p>           I have heard both sides.      The Deputy Commissioner, Latehar, by<br \/>\n                Annexure-15 to this writ petition, has refused to execute the lease deed in<br \/>\n                accordance with the decision of the Government holding that prior to the<br \/>\n                revised survey of 1993 the land or at least part thereof, was recorded as<br \/>\n                Jangal-Jhari, implying some kind of forest land.\n<\/p>\n<p>                        The impugned order does not give any reason for ignoring the entry<br \/>\n                made in revised survey published in 1993 wherein there is no mention or<br \/>\n                indication of the land being even remotely a forest land. Further, there is no<br \/>\n                mention in the impugned order about letter No.1688 dated 24.09.1996 of the<br \/>\n                Divisional Forest Officer, Latehar in which the said officer has intimated that<br \/>\n                the land of which the mining lease is sought is out of the forest land.\n<\/p>\n<p>                        The Deputy Commissioner, Latehar has also chosen to ignore the<br \/>\n                opinion of of the learned Advocate General dated 06.02.2004, copy of which<br \/>\n                has been annexed as Annexure-13 to this writ petition. Normally these are<br \/>\n                factors which should have been considered by the State Government while<br \/>\n                taking a decision to grant or not to grant a mining lease. Once the State<br \/>\n                Government has taken a decision, the work left for the Deputy Commissioner<br \/>\n                is largely ministerial work of formal execution of the mining lease deed.<br \/>\n                However, there may be cases where there are reasons for not executing the<br \/>\n                mining lease despite the decision of the Government, but those reasons must<br \/>\n                be absolutely clinching or extremely strong.\n<\/p>\n<p>                        Considering these circumstances, I am of the opinion that the<br \/>\n                decision taken by the Deputy Commissioner, Latehar is not correct on facts<br \/>\n                or law. Accordingly, Annexure-15 to this writ petition is quashed. The Deputy<br \/>\n                Commissioner, Latehar is directed to execute the lease deed in question<br \/>\n                within a month of the date on which a certified copy of this order is presented<br \/>\n                before him.\n<\/p>\n<p>                        With the aforesaid direction this writ petition is disposed of.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                                      (Sushil Harkauli, J.)\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jharkhand High Court Sheo Prasad Sahu vs State Of Jharkhand &amp; Ors. on 17 March, 2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI W.P.
