The case of the petitioner, as seen from the affidavit filed in support of this Writ Petition, in short is that, the petitioner has decided to put up a quarrying business in the land purchased by him. For the said purpose, the petitioner also obtained all necessary permits/licence/certificates and he has been running the quarry operation. Now, the grievance of the petitioner is that, the fifth and sixth respondents have applied before the fourth respondent for grant of permission to construct a dwelling house, within 300 meters radius in S.F.Nos.496, 497/1 and 200/1, in Kolumanguzhi Village, Dharapuram Taluk, Tirupur District. Apprehending that the fourth respondent may grant approval to the fifth and sixth respondent to construct dwelling house, the petitioner has filed the present Writ Petition, to refrain the respondents 1 to 4 from doing so. The petitioner states that he has invested huge sum of money on installation of machineries and engaged large number of persons for carrying out the said business. Now, if any approval been granted to the fifth and sixth respondents to construct a dwelling house, that would cause irreparable loss to the petitioner. Even as per Rule 36 (1) of Tamil Nadu Minor Minerals Concession Rules, 1959, no new layout, building plan falling within 300 metres from any quarry should be given by any agency, without obtaining clearance of the Director of Geology and Minning. Setting out the aforesaid facts, the petitioner has also given a representation, dated 14.06.2011, to the fourth respondent. Since the same evoked no response, the petitioner is before this Court.
