Heard Sri A. Prabhakar Rao, learned counsel for the petitioner, and the Government Pleader for Mines & Geology appearing for the respondents. 4. It has been contended by the petitioner that he has been granted mining lease by the respondents for a period of 20 years commencing from 09.06.2000 to 09.06.2020. 5. Counsel for the petitioner contended that as per the Mineral Concession Rules, 1960, the petitioner has submitted an application on 15.04.2019 for renewal of mining lease and he has also complied with all the requirements for grant of extension/renewal of mining lease. The grievance of the petitioner is that though he has submitted an application for renewal of mining lease way back on 15.04.2019, the respondents are not considering the same and the lease has expired on 08.06.2020. Therefore, counsel for the petitioner contends that appropriate orders be passed in the writ petition directing the respondents to consider the application submitted by the petitioner on 15.04.2019 for renewal of mining lease in accordance with the Rules within a reasonable period of time. 6. Therefore, counsel for the petitioner contends that appropriate orders be passed in the writ petition directing the respondents to consider the application submitted by the petitioner on 15.04.2019 for renewal of mining lease in accordance with the Rules within a reasonable period of time. 6. Government Pleader appearing for the respondents had contended that since the petitioner's application for renewal of mining lease is pending with the respondents, the respondents would consider the same and pass appropriate orders within a reasonable period of time, preferably within a period of two months. 7. This Court, having considered the submissions of learned counsel for respective parties, is of the considered view that this writ petition can be disposed of directing the respondents to consider the application submitted by the petitioner on 15.04.2019, for renewal of mining lease, and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law within a reasonable period of time, preferably within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 8.
