Dated this the 23^rd day of December, 2015

JUDGMENT

The petitioner claims that he is having a quarrying

permit on 09/02/2015 and therefore, he is entitled for

renewal of quarrying permit without environmental

clearance.

The petitioner's quarrying permit has been cancelled as

per Ext.P7 stating that he cannot quarry without

environmental clearance. In the light of Ext.P3 and in the

light of the interim order of the Hon'ble Supreme Court,

Ext.P7 is quashed. However, the quarrying will be subject to

further orders of the Hon'ble Supreme Court.

The writ petition is disposed of as above.
