In addition thereto, the Rules which have been framed under the Act, as stated above, also governing the Mineral Development and Rule 30 deals with 'Right of Lessee' and NEUTRAL CITATION C/FA/4875/2008 CAV JUDGMENT DATED: 08/12/2023 undefined Section 31 prescribes the provision with regard to lease to be granted. Rule 33 is dealing with 'Survey of the area leased'. So, whenever a mining lease is granted by the State Government, arrangement shall be made by the state Government at the expenses of the lessee for the survey and demarcation of the area granted under lease and the survey of the area leased is to be conducted by Total Station and Differential Global Positioning System. Now, if we see the evidence on record, in the present case, survey appears to have not been undertaken in consonance with the procedure as prescribed above and if the Rules in co-relation with the other procedure if to be seen, it appears that learned Trial Judge has not minutely examined the case and the evidence ought to have been analyzed in the context of aforementioned provisions as well which are undisputedly applicable.
