Bombuthula Srinivas Yadav ...Petitioner Vs. The State of Andhra Pradesh and others ...Respondent(s) ********** CORAM : THE CHIEF JUSTICE LISA GILL SRI JUSTICE CHALLA GUNARANJAN DATE : 31st August, 2026. Present : Advocate for Petitioner: Mr. Ghanta Rama Rao, ld. Senior Counsel for Mr. Ghanta Sridhar Advocate(s) for Respondent(s): GP for Mines and Geology LISA GILL, CJ.
Learned counsel for petitioner submits that upon passing of G.O.Ms.No.100, Industries & Commerce (Mines-III) Department, dated 26.06.2025, prayer as addressed in present writ petition for considering his application for grant of mining lease is rendered infructuous and that petitioner may be given an opportunity to pursue the matter before authorities in terms of said Government Order dated 26.06.2025.
2. Learned Government Pleader for Mines and Geology, however, points out that petitioner seeks permission for mining of limestone, which has since been declared a major mineral, therefore, it is not for State to grant such permission.
