A.P.RAVANI, J. - (1.) THE contention that Rule 65 -A of the Rajasthan Minor Mineral Concession Rules, 1986 (in short 'the Rules') does not empower the Government to make policy provision in respect of quarry licence has no force. The words used in Rule 65 -A of the Rules are as follows: adopt any method or procedure different from that provided in the rules for leasing out mineral deposit in the interest of mineral development.
(2.) THIS expression and particularly the experession 'for leasing out mineral deposit.' would in the context cover the quarry licence also. The reliance placed on the decision of the supreme Court in P.K. Unni V Ntrmala Industries and Ors. (JT 1990 (1) S.C. 423) is of no help to the petitioner. It is true that the court is required to interpret lows as per the words used by the legislature. But, that does not meen that the Court cannot and would not look at the context in which the particular phrase or words are used.
(3.) THE learned Counsel for the petitioner submitted that the policy notified vide Notification dated 6.10.1994 makes reservation in favour of certain classes of persons Clause 8 (2) provides for reservation in favour of persons belonging to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribues and other Backward classes. This reservation is in conformity with the Constitutional provisions., which enable the State Government to moke certain reservation in favour of persons of such clasees.;
