When the matter was taken up for consideration today, the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Mines and Geology, appearing for the respondents, placed a copy of the instructions received in the case before the Court. A perusal of the same would reflect that pursuant to the revision petition filed by the petitioner remarks were called for by the respondent No.2 from the respondent No.3, however the same could not be furnished on account of the fact that the office of the 3rd respondent has been newly established and the files have not been remitted to the newly established office, thus they could not submit remarks to the respondent No.2 as called for and it further reflects from the same that they would submit the remarks in two days from the date of the instructions referred supra. 4. Having regard to the above and the submissions advanced, this Court deems it appropriate to dispose of the Writ Petition directing the respondent No.1 to pass appropriate orders on the revision application filed by the petitioner within a period of two (02) months from the date of receipt of the order. 5. With the above observation, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. 4 As a sequel, all pending miscellaneous applications shall stand closed. ______________________________ JUSTICE KIRANMAYEE MANDAVA Date: 31.12.2025 MSI 5 THE HONOURABLE SMT JUSTICE KIRANMAYEE MANDAVA WRIT PETITION NO: 36566/2025 Date: 31.12.2025 MSI
