Above said Writ Petition and all Writ Appeals were taken up together for
hearing and adjudication, at request and with consent of learned counsel for
parties because all matters primarily revolve around interpretation of Rule
26(3)(ii) and Rule 34(1) of the Andhra Pradesh Minor Mineral Concession
Rules, 1966 (for short „APMMC Rules‟).
2. W.P.No.1839 of 2021 has been filed for setting aside
amendments made to APMMC Rules, particularly Rule 26, by
G.O.Ms.No.35, dated 01.07.2020 on the ground of being contrary to
Section 21(2) and Section 22 of the Mines and Minerals (Development and
Regulation) Act, 1957, (for short „MMDR Act‟).
