Heard Sri.B.H.Mansoor, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners in W.P(C)Nos.5636/2020 & 5654/2020, Sri.Joby Jose W.P(C) Nos.5636, 4956, 5606 & 5654 of 2020 11 Kondody, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner in W.P(C)No.5606/2020, Sri.Philip J.Vettickattu, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner in W.P(C)No.4956/2020, Sri.K.Sandesh Raja, learned Special Government Pleader (Forest) appearing for the official State respondents in these cases, Sri.M.P.Sreekrishnan, learned Standing Counsel for the respondent-State Level Environment Impact Assessment Authority, Smt.M.S.Kiran, learned Central Government Counsel appearing for the 1[st] respondent-Union authorities and the 2[nd] respondent-Standing Committee of the National Board for Wildlife in W.P(C)No.5654/2020 & Sri.P.Vijayakumar, learned Assistant Solicitor General appearing for the respondent-Union of India and the respondent-National Board for Wild Life/Standing Committee in National Board for Wild Life in the other W.P(C)s. 6. It appears that these cases are broadly covered by the orders and directions issued by this Court in the case in _**George v. State of Kerala**_ [2020 (1) KLT 109 = 2020 (1) KHC 345]. 7. Accordingly, it is ordered that the directions and orders rendered by this Court in the said judgment in **George's case** (supra) [2020 (1) KLT 109] will regulate these cases as well. Therefore, the parties concerned will ensure that the various procedural formalities mentioned by this Court in **George's case** (supra) be adhere to in this case as well and W.P(C) Nos.5636, 4956, 5606 & 5654 of 2020 12 the respondent authorities concerned may consider and take appropriate decision in the matter as directed in the said judgment in **George's case** (supra) [2020 (1) KLT 109]. 8. Sri.K.Sandesh Raja, learned Special Government Pleader (Forest) appearing for the respondent-State Authorities would point out that the factual position in W.P(C)Nos.5606/2020 & W.P(C)No.4956/2020 that on a slightly different footing compared to that in the other two W.P(C)s, for the reason that in the former cases, the quarry is not running as of now, whereas in the latter two cases, the quarries are said to be even now running. However, Sri.Joby Jose Kondody, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would point out that even for the abovesaid former cases, where quarries are running, this Court has ordered in the last paragraph of **George's case** (supra) [2020 (1) KLT 109] that as far as W.P(C)No.28036/2019 is concerned (which is stated to be a case where the quarry was not running as of then, this Court has noted that though the afore directions will apply to it, since the petitioner therein submits that his application for mining lease has also been kept pending by the State Government on account of the office memorandum issued by the Union Government, referred to in the said judgment, it has been directed that the competent authority shall process the said application but it has been clarified from this Court that they will not grant the mining lease until the W.P(C) Nos.5636, 4956, 5606 & 5654 of 2020 13 proceedings as mentioned above is completed or the period fixed as above expires, etc. However, the petitioners in W.P(C)Nos.5606 & 4956/2020 should ensure that the copies of the necessary materials including environmental clearance should be produced by them not only before the competent authorities of the State Government in the Environmental department, but also before the respondent-National Board for Wild Life and on receipt of such materials from those petitioners, the said competent respondent authorities shall take such materials on record and then process and consider the case of those petitioners as well, in accordance with the directions issued by this Court in **George's case** (supra). 9. Sri.Philip J.Vettickattu, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner in W.P(C)No.4956/2020 would submit that the said petitioner is not now running the quarry and he is not having online access to submit his application and that this Court may direct the competent authority among the respondents to consider the request of the petitioner for grant of permission for online request to submit his application for the purpose of quarrying lease/quarrying permit, as the case may be, as has been ordered to be considered by this Court in a similar case covered by the judgment dated 23.01.2020 in W.P(C)No.1884/2020. Taking note of the directions issued by this Court in the last paragraph of the judgment dated 23.01.2020 in W.P(C)No.1884/2020, it is ordered that the competent W.P(C) Nos.5636, 4956, 5606 & 5654 of 2020 14 authority among respondents 3 & 4 in W.P(C)No.4956/2020, will consider the request of the petitioner for granting permission for online access to submit the application, for the purpose of quarrying lease/quarrying permit, as the case may be and it is ordered that the said competent respondent-Authority shall process the said application, after giving access to the petitioner. But it is made clear that this will not amount to granting of quarrying permit/quarrying lease until the proceedings, as aforesaid is completed or the fixed period as above expires. With these observations and directions, the above Writ Petitions (Civil) stand finally disposed of. ## **Sd/-** **ALEXANDER THOMAS JUDGE** vgd W.P(C) Nos.5636, 4956, 5606 & 5654 of 2020 15 ## **APPENDIX OF WP(C) 5636/2020** ## **PETITIONER'S/S EXHIBITS:** **EXHIBIT P1 TRUE COPY OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE DATED 9/1/2018 BEARING NO:21/DEIAA/KL/MIN/5709/2017 ISSUED BY THE DISTRICT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT AUTHORITY,KOZHIKODE EXHIBIT P2 TRUE COPY OF THE NOTICE DATED 21/10/2019 BEARING NO DOZ/M 2290/2019 ISSUED BY THE SEVENTH RESPONDENT** **EXHIBIT P3 COPY OF THE JUDGMENT DATED IN W.P(C)NO.29853/2019 IS EXHIBIT P4 TRUE COPY OF THE OFFICE MEMORANDUM DATED 8/8/2019 BEARING F NO:22-43/2018-IA.III EXHIBIT P5 TRUE COPY OF THE JUDGMENT DATED 12/2/2020 IN W.P(C)NO.3904/2020 OF THIS HON'BLE COURT.** W.P(C) Nos.5636, 4956, 5606 & 5654 of 2020 16 ## **APPENDIX OF WP(C) 4956/2020** ## **PETITIONER'S/S EXHIBITS:** **EXHIBIT P1 TRUE COPY OF QUARRYING PERMIT ISSUED TO THE PETITIONER DATED 1.10.2018** **EXHIBIT P2 TRUE COPY OF RELEVANT PAGES OF ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE ISSUED BY THE COMPETENT AUTHORITY DATED 27.4.2018 EXHIBIT P3 TRUE COPY OF OFFICE MEMORANDUM DATED 8.8.2019 EXHIBIT P4 TRUE COPY OF RELEVANT PAGES OF DRAFT NOTIFICATION WITH RESPECT TO CHULANNUR PEAFOWL SANCTUARY** **EXHIBIT P5 TRUE COPY OF NOTICE DATED 20.6.2019 ISSUED BY THE DISTRICT GEOLOGIST, PALAKKAD** W.P(C) Nos.5636, 4956, 5606 & 5654 of 2020 17 ## **APPENDIX OF WP(C) 5606/2020** **PETITIONER'S/S EXHIBITS:** **EXHIBIT P1 A TRUE COPY OF THE LETTER OF INTENT DATED 18.09.2017 ISSUED BY THE SIXTH RESPONDENT TO THE PETITIONER.** **EXHIBIT P2 A TRUE COPY OF THE FORM LE-3 LICENSE DATED 30.10.2018 VALID UPTO 31.03.2023 ISSUED BY THE DEPUTY CHIEF CONTROLLER OF EXPLOSIVES, ERNAKULAM.** **EXHIBIT P3 A TRUE COPY OF THE D & O LICENSE DATED 14.11.2018 ISSUED BY THE SECRETARY, VELLARADA GRAMA PANCHAYAT.** **EXHIBIT P4 A TRUE COPY OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE DATED 19.07.2018 GRATED BY THE DEIAA, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM TO THE PETITIONER COMPANY.** W.P(C) Nos.5636, 4956, 5606 & 5654 of 2020 18 ## **APPENDIX OF WP(C) 5654/2020** **PETITIONER'S/S EXHIBITS:** **EXHIBIT P1 TRUE COPY OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE DATED 13.6.2018 BEARING NO.82/2018 ISSUED BY THE DISTRICT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT AUTHORITY, KOZHIKODE.** **EXHIBIT P2 TRUE COPY OF THE NOTICE DATED 21.10.2019 BEARING NO.DOZ/M 2290/2019 ISSUED BY THE SEVENTH RESPONDENT.
