Since the issues involved in the above writ appeal and the writ petitions are inter-related to each other, we deem it appropriate to dispose of them by a common judgment.

¶81

W.A.No.2023 of 2018

¶82

This writ appeal is filed against the judgment of the learned

¶83

Single Judge in W.P.(C) No.4974/2017, by a third party, after obtaining leave from this Court.

¶84

W.P.(C) No.4974/2017 was filed by the partnership firm 'M/s.Ponoorpoyil Granites' (hereinafter referred to as 'the firm'), the first respondent in the appeal, against the respondents 2 to 5 in the appeal. The prayer in the writ petition was to quash Ext.P19 'stop

memo' issued to it by the Senior Geologist of the Mining and Geology Department directing the firm to stop quarrying operations in the land having an extent of 2.632 hectares in respect of which the firm had obtained a quarrying lease. The reason stated in Ext.P19 to give such a direction to the firm was that, the aforesaid land was illegally acquired by the firm and that it was a land involved in Vigilance Case No.03/2017/KKD, which was being investigated by the Vigilance and Anti-corruption Bureau.

¶89

The firm filed the writ petition stating that it had obtained all necessary licences and permits required for conducting quarrying operations in the land and the vigilance case was instituted on the basis of a frivolous complaint made by the appellant herein.

¶90

By the time the writ petition came up for hearing, the investigating officer had filed a refer report in the vigilance case, before the court concerned. Therefore, the learned Single Judge found that the very basis for issuing Ext.P19 communication to the firm did not survive. Therefore, the learned Single Judge allowed the writ petition and quashed Ext.P19. The firm had filed an application for renewing the quarrying lease. The authority concerned had issued Ext.P23 communication to the firm stating that the aforesaid application could not be considered till the disposal of the writ petition.

W.P.C.No.38589 of 2018

¶94

The learned Single Judge directed the authority concerned to consider

¶95

the application for renewal of lease submitted by the firm, in accordance with law, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment in the writ petition, after affording an opportunity of hearing to the firm. The appeal is filed challenging the aforesaid judgment.

¶96

W.P.(C) No.12276/2018

¶97

The writ petitioner is the appellant in W.A.No.2023/2018. The writ petition is filed by him to issue a direction to the Director, Mining and Geology Department, the 4^th respondent in the writ petition, to cancel the quarrying lease granted to the firm and to realise from the firm the royalty for the excess quantity of granite stone extracted by the firm and also to take penal action against the firm for conducting illegal quarrying operation.

¶98

The sum and substance of the averments in the writ petition can be stated as follows: The writ petitioner is residing very near to the quarry and the crusher unit conducted by the firm. The firm has obtained quarrying lease for a period of ten years from 14.07.2008 to 13.07.2018. The firm has already extracted granite stone in excess of the quantity permitted and also from excess area. Due to the illegal quarrying operations conducted by the firm,

¶103

intensive pollution is caused. As per the quarrying lease, the firm is entitled to extract only 20,000 tons of granite stone per year, from an area of 2.632 hectares. On the basis of a complaint filed by the petitioner, the Vigilance and Anti-corruption Bureau conducted a surprise check on 27.06.2014 and found that the firm had extracted granite stone in excess of the permitted quantity. The Vigilance Officer had recommended recovery of an amount of Rs.2,25,12,000/(two crores twenty five lakhs and twelve thousand rupees) from the firm as royalty and also to suspend the licence for quarrying. The aforesaid recommendation was forwarded to the Government and the Government had directed the 4^th respondent (in the writ petition) to measure the excess area from which granite stone was extracted and to take proper action for collecting the royalty. However, the 4^th respondent has not initiated any action against the firm as directed by the Government. On the basis of the complaint filed by the writ petitioner, a vigilance case has been registered against the firm and its partners. The quarrying operation is being conducted by the firm in violation of statutory provisions.

¶104

The firm, the 9^th respondent in the writ petition, filed counter affidavit refuting the allegations made against it. The 4^th respondent in the writ petition also filed counter affidavit narrating the

¶107

¶108

¶109

steps taken against the firm by the department for extracting granite stones from excess area. The writ petitioner also filed a reply affidavit controverting the contentions raised by the 4^th and the 9^th respondents.

¶110

W.P.(C) No.38589/2018

¶111

This writ petition is filed by the firm seeking a writ of mandamus to the Director, Mining and Geology Department and the Geologist to consider and dispose of the application for renewal of the quarrying lease submitted by it, without any delay.

¶112

The application for renewal of the quarrying lease was submitted by the firm on 20.07.2018. It is alleged that the authorities concerned have not taken steps to process the application and that inordinate delay is being caused in considering and disposing of the application.

¶113

We have heard the learned counsel for all the parties and also the learned Government Pleader.

¶114

Admittedly, the firm had obtained a valid quarrying lease to conduct quarrying operation for a period of ten years from 14.07.2008 to 13.07.2018 in the land having an extent of 2.632 hectares. Ext. P19 'stop memo' dated 10.02.2017 was issued by the Senior Geologist directing the firm to stop the quarrying operations in the land. The

¶115

¶116

W.P.(C) No.12276 of 2018 &

¶117

¶118

W.P.C.No.38589 of 2018

¶119

reason stated for issuing such a direction was that the firm had illegally acquired the land and a vigilance case had been registered in the matter. The learned Single Judge quashed Ext.P19 on the ground that the basis for issuing Ext.P19 did not survive because the investigating officer had filed refer report in the vigilance case in the court concerned. We find no error or illegality in the impugned judgment through which Ext.P19 was quashed. Moreover, the period of the quarrying lease granted to the firm has now expired and the matter has become infructuous. In these circumstances, the writ appeal, which is filed by a third party, is liable to be dismissed.

¶120

In W.P.(C) No.12276/2018, the writ petitioner has got a

¶121

plea that the firm had extracted granite stone in excess of the quantity permitted and also from excess area of land.

¶122

One of the prayers in W.P.(C) No.12276/2018 is to issue direction to the authorities concerned to suspend the quarrying lease granted to the firm. The period of the quarrying lease granted to the firm is now over and this prayer has become infructuous.

¶123

Another relief sought in W.P.(C) No.12276/2018 is to issue a direction to the authority concerned to measure the area of the land in which quarrying operations were conducted by the firm and to realise royalty from the firm for the excess quantity of granite stone

¶124

W.A.No.2023 of 2018,

¶125

W.P.(C) No.12276 of 2018 &

¶126

¶127

W.P.C.No.38589 of 2018

¶128

mined by it and also to take penal action against the firm.

¶129

The counter affidavit filed by the Director, Mining and Geology Department (who is the 4^th respondent in W.P.(C) No.12276/2018) reveals that the area of land upon which the firm had encroached and conducted quarrying operations was measured and it was found that the firm had illegally extracted 2942.972 cubic metre of granite from that area of land. It is stated in the counter affidavit that an amount of Rs.5,29,735/- was realised from the firm as royalty and price for the granite illegally extracted. It is also stated in the counter affidavit that the requisite penalty has been levied from the firm for conducting illegal quarrying operations. The counter affidavit of the Director, Mining and Geology Department further reveals that, the restriction regarding the quantity of stone to be extracted, is not applicable to the quarry conducted by the firm since consolidated royalty was being paid by the firm.

¶130

In view of the facts mentioned as above, the prayers made in W.P.(C) No.12276/2018 do not survive for consideration. Of course, the writ petitioner has got dispute with regard to the excess area of land in which quarrying operation was conducted by the firm and also with respect to the quantity of excess granite extracted by the firm. The exact area of the land encroached upon by the firm, the exact

¶131

W.A.No.2023 of 2018,

¶132

W.P.(C) No.12276 of 2018 &

¶133

¶134

W.P.C.No.38589 of 2018

¶135

quantity of granite stones extracted by the firm from such land etc. are matters which could not be decided in a writ petition. If the writ petitioner has got any grievance that the royalty and penalty realised from the firm is insufficient, it is for him to approach the appropriate authorities concerned and to raise his grievances in that regard. It is also to be noted that, merely on the basis of the report of enquiry conducted by the Vigilance Officer and the findings made by him regarding the excess quantity of stone allegedly extracted by the firm, in the absence of any solid proof, the petitioner cannot seek the reliefs prayed for by him in the writ petition.

¶136

Under the above mentioned circumstances, the petitioner in W.P.(C) No.12276/2018 is not entitled to get any of the reliefs prayed for in the writ petition.

¶137

The firm is the writ petitioner in W.P.(C) No.38589/2018. The grievance of the firm is that undue delay has been caused by the authorities concerned in processing the application for renewal of the quarrying lease submitted by it. Learned counsel for the petitioner in W.P.(C) No.12276/2018 would submit that a new vigilance case has been registered against the firm and its partners and therefore, the firm is not entitled to get any renewal of the quarrying lease.

¶138

We express no opinion as to whether registration of a

W.P.(C) No.12276 of 2018 &

¶141

¶142

vigilance case against the firm and its partners is a matter which is relevant for consideration in granting or denying quarrying lease to the firm. The writ petitioner in W.P.(C) No.12276/2018 can raise all his grievances against renewal of lease before the authority concerned.

¶144

Consequently, W.A.No.2023/2018 is dismissed. The first and the second respondents in W.P.(C) No.38589/2018 are directed to consider and dispose of the application for renewal of quarrying lease (Ext.P14 in that writ petition) in accordance with law, at an early date, at any rate within a period of two months from today, after affording an opportunity of hearing to the writ petitioners in W.P.(C) No.38589/2018 and W.P.(C) No.12276/2018. The writ petitions are disposed of accordingly. No costs.
