JUDGMENT

Petitioner approached Geologist for renewing the existing permit and to issue sufficient O(A) forms to transport laterite building stone from the site.

2. Petitioner submits that based on the original permit he was only given 200 Pforms out of 350 Pforms. Therefore, he could not remove the entire laterite building stone from the site.

3. This court is of the view that, Geologist shall conduct an inspection and find out quantity required to be transported from the site. After verifying the fats as above, the permit shall be renewed and O(A) forms shall be issued. Royalty already paid shall be adjusted against royalty payable.

Writ petition is disposed of.
