JUDGMENT
Koshy, Ag.C.J.
Petitioner is a Co-operative Society. It had set
up a common service centre for coir products of small scale
producers. Petitioner wants to lay a pipe as per the
specifications provided by the Pollution Control Board. It is the
contention of the petitioner that third respondent and a group of
people are objecting the same alleging pollution. Nobody can
take law into their hands and if anybody has objection, they have
to get prohibitory orders from court or statutory authority.
Contesting respondent’s main contention is that Pollution
Control Board has not given consent. Pollution Control Board is
not made as a party to this petition. In the above circumstances,
police is directed to ascertain from the Pollution Control Board
whether petitioner is laying the pipe as per the specifications
W.P.(C)No.1302/2009 2
provided by the Pollution Control Board and if the Pollution
Control Board agrees, sufficient protection should be granted as
prayed for. Petitioner shall give a copy of this judgment to
Adv.Sri.Chandramohan Das who appeared in this case for
Pollution Control Board at the request of the court.
The writ petition is disposed of accordingly.
