RAJASTHAN BARYTES LTD Vs. STATE OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE facts of the case are not in dispute. A pure question of law whether a person who has not agitated the matter after his application has been rejected, can have any grievance and ask the Competent Authority to consider his case alongwith a party whose case has been remanded by the Revisional Authority?

(2.) THE grievance raised in the petition by the petitioner is that his application ought to have been considered by the Competent Authority, i.e., the State of Rajasthan, for lease under the provisions of the Rajasthan Mines and Minerals (Regulation and Development) Act, 1957, along with the application of respondent No. 5, Beechamores Private Limitedi whose case has been remanded by the Central Government to the State Government.

(3.) SIMILAR view had been taken by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Hanuman Transport Corporation v. Meenakshi G. Ramabhai Civil Appeal No. 794/1963, decided on 20 -2 -1963. A similar view has been reiterated in Anamaliais Bus Transports Pvt. Ltd. Pollachi v. Shri Tiruppar -karur Transport Pvt Ltd. AIR 1966 Mad. 470.
