Keelavalavu police had registered a case against him on charges of illegal quarrying in the Purampuhal land with survey Numbers 71/1 and 70/ 3. “But the fact is that PRP Exports was not quarrying in survey number 70/3. It was operated by one Kottaiveeran who got the licence from the State,” he said in the petition. As per the Granite Conservation and Development Rules, 1999, disqualified stones should be buried in the same quarry. “Hence we have kept these stones for burying in the quarry. But police spread the news that we had hidden the granite stones in some places,” he said. “If any violation was found, State can take action on the basis of the Mines and Minerals Act. Police have not given a chance to us to explain our position. Now we have to pay the penalty to our overseas customers due to the sealing of our company,” he added.first published:August 19, 2012, 10:55 ISTlast updated:August 19, 2012, 10:55 IST
