issued to the appropriate authority, including Respondent No. 3, namely The Principal Secretary-cum-Commissioner, Department of Mines and
Geology, Government of Bihar to consider and decide the petitioner’s request which the petitioner shall be making within a period of four weeks.
As such petitions are disposed of with a direction to Respondent No. 3 namely The Principal Secretary-cum-Commissioner, Department of Mines and
