Subsequently, a progress report was submitted following a joint site visit. It stated that mining operations had already been stopped, no Ratti Bajri was found at the site, and the permits were limited to limestone and mouram. However, it also confirmed that both permit holders were in violation of lease conditions, including failure to submit monthly reports and install boundary markers, rendering them liable for action under the relevant mining laws. 5. Upon hearing the parties, this Court accepts the request of the Additional Advocate General to refer the matter to the competent authority. The case is remanded to the Director General, Mines and Minerals Development, to provide an opportunity of hearing to all concerned and to take appropriate legal action in case of established violations. However, it is made clear that the order dated 20.01.2026 shall remain intact. 6. Accordingly, the petition is disposed of in these terms.
