JUDGMENT
Petitioner is operating a Cashew factory and has
sought a factory licence in this regard, under the
Factories Act. Petitioner claims to have obtained
consent from the Pollution Control Board as evidenced
by Ext.P5 and from the District Medical Officer.
Apparently, according to the learned counsel for the
petitioner, application for licence under the Factories
Act submitted before the first respondent, was
forwarded to the second respondent for inspection.
Inspection has been conducted on 9.9.2008 and report
has been then forwarded to the first respondent.
2. Having heard learned counsel and the learned
Government Pleader, the writ petition is disposed of
directing the first respondent to take a decision on the
petitioner’s application for licence under the
Factories Act, if the same has been received and if it
is otherwise in order, within a period of six weeks from
W.P.(C).28268/2008
