Radhakrishnan, Ag.C.J.

Heard learned counsel on either side. The writ petition was

preferred by way of public interest litigation seeking a writ of

mandamus directing the respondents to shift the garbage dumping

yard/trenching now situated in Ward No.18 of Kodungallur Municipality

to a remote area and also for consequential reliefs.

2. Learned counsel appearing for the Municipality submitted that

expeditious steps have been taken for treatment of waste and

garbage. It is also stated that effective steps are being taken to

redress the grievances of the petitioner and other general public. In

the circumstances, recording the stand of the Municipality, this writ

petition is disposed of.

K.S.RADHAKRISHNAN,

Ag.CHIEF JUSTICE.
