Case brief
AI extract
What is this about?
A mineral processor holding a licence sought a writ of mandamus for issuance of transit passes for minor minerals from its quarry and crusher. The court held that a pending show-cause notice and enquiry could not justify withholding the transit pass and directed issuance within one week, with the enquiry to proceed separately.
What did the court decide?
Transit pass to be issued within one week; petitioner to reply to show-cause notice within three weeks; enquiry to proceed with notice to both parties.
