         DATED THIS THE 24th DAY OF AUGUST, 2007

                              JUDGMENT

The petitioner is challenging Ext.P7 communication by which the

3rd respondent has directed the 4th respondent to take action to stop

the functioning of unauthorised peeling units on the basis of a

telephone message from the Chief Conservator of Forest

(Development).

I have heard the learned special Government pleader (Forest)

also. The learned special Government pleader (Forest) submits that

Ext.P7 is only an internal communication and no proceedings would be

taken without issuing a show cause notice to the petitioner and hearing

him. This is recorded and the writ petition is closed.
