(Judgment of the Court was delivered by The Hon'ble Chief Justice) Learned Single Judge allowed the writ petitions permitting the quarrying operation for a full period of five years. That period expired long time back and not even notice has been issued in these appeals, which are pending for the last 13 years. 2.Writ Appeals are, thus, dismissed as infructuous. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are also dismissed. Sd/- Assistant Registrar //True Copy// Sub Assistant Registrar sra To The District Collector Vellore District, Vellore.
