(1.) HEARD the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and the learned Government Advocate appearing on behalf of the respondents.
(2.) AT this stage of the hearing of the writ petition, a counter affidavit, dated 07.05.2008, had been placed before this Court. Paragraph No.4 of the counter affidavit reads as follows: "4. It is submitted that the lease was granted to M/s.Senthil Aggregates and Cement Products for quarrying rough stone and gravel in S.F.No.67 of Palathurai Village for a period of five years from 27.02.2006 to 26.02.2011. There is no lease granted for S.F.Nos.32, 33, 68, 50/3, 64/2, 66 and 34 as stated by the writ petitioners. Hence the averments of the writ petitioners are not correct."
