ORDER : The prayer in the Writ Petition is for a writ of Certiorarified Mandamus to call for the records relating to the proceedings of the first respondent in Na.Ka.No.Aa2/7787/09 dated 04.01.2011 and quash the same and consequently direct the respondents to receive the lease cum royalty amount tendered by the petitioner as per its representation dated 14.12.2010 for fasli 1419 and 1420 and for subsequent faslies. 2. The only grievance of the petitioner is that his application to receive the renewal licence has been rejected, even though his application seeking for extension is still pending consideration by the Government. 3. The learned Government Advocate clearly indicated that the impugned order very clearly stated that the request of the renewal has rightly been rejected as the property is required for other purposes and the period has also expired. 4. On a careful perusal of the entire order, it is very clear that the petitioner's lease period has expired on 07.05.1999 and thereafter, as per the earlier communication, the petitioner sought for renewal. But, in the present communication, the Tahsildar has categorically stated that the Government decided to utilise the property for some other purpose and has also taken back the property. Therefore, the request of the petitioner to extend the period, has been rejected and there is nothing wrong in the order. 5. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. Consequently, the connected Miscellaneous petition is also dismissed.
