The second respondent is hereby directed to issue transport permit to the petitioner. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.” 5. Considering the fact that the final order has been passed in the above writ petitions and that the same has been complied with by the official respondents, both the writ petitions are disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to pass appropriate orders on the application filed by the respective petitioners seeking for clearance certificate based on the approval order passed by the Assistant Director (Geology and Mining) in respect of individual petitioners. The first respondent shall pass such an order within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The second respondent is directed to issue transport permit to the petitioners in the light of the approval already granted by the Assistant Director (Geology and Mining) in respect of each of the petitioners.
