The matter pertains to stopping of the operation of Katakhal Sand Mining Contract Union No. 04 due to Covid-19. The petitioner earlier approached this Court by filing three writ petitions, being WP(C) Nos. 268/2021, 279/2021 & 372/2021, which were disposed of on various dates, by directing the petitioner to submit appropriate representation before the Divisional Forest Officer, Hailakandi with regard to extension of the settlement period. The petitioner has thereafter filed WP(C) 3270/2021, which was disposed of vide order dated 27.07.2021, by dismissing the writ petition. However, the petitioner was granted the liberty to participate in the tender process, arising out of E-tender notice dated 29.06.2021. The petitioner was also given the liberty to file appropriate application for remission of the Kist money and other reliefs, as entitled under the Provisions of the Assam Minor Mineral Concession Rules, 2013. Page No.# 3/3 As none appears for the petitioner on three consecutive dates, this Court is of the view that the petitioner is not interested in pursuing the matter. Accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed for non-prosecution.
