Accordingly, he quarried stones on getting 30 transit permits every month at the cost of Rs.4,500/-. The second respondent used to inspect the stone quarry every month. Be that as it may, on the basis of an anonymous complaint, the third respondent sent a report to the first respondent stating that the petitioner committed certain violations. Pursuant to the same, a show cause notice dated 27.06.2007 was issued to the petitioner on the ground that the petitioner illegally quarried without permit in Arumbakkam Government poromboke land in S.No.427/1 and lifted 5822 sq.m or 1028.5 lorry loads of stones. The petitioner duly submitted his explanation. However, without considering the same and without conducting any enquiry, the first respondent by order dated 20.08.2007 cancelled the license granted to the petitioner. In the mean while, the petitioner filed WP.No.24082/2007 for a mandamus, forbearing the respondents from interfering and obstructing the petitioner to carry on stone quarry operation. The said writ petition was disposed of by order dated 17.07.2007, thereby directing the respondents 1 and 2 therein to conduct enquiry and pass orders in accordance with law within two weeks on the date of completion of enquiry. Accordingly, enquiry was conducted about three years back, but no order was passed. Now the first respondent passed the impugned order dated 05.11.2015 for recovery of Rs.1,05,11,270/-. Hence, the petitioner is before this Court.
