W.P(C).No.6383 of 2009
==================
Dated this the 27th day of February, 2009
J U D G M E N T
The petitioner aspires to start a furniture manufacturing unit. In
order to apply for licence for the same, the petitioner has to first
obtain a No Objection Certificate from the 2nd respondent-District
Medical Officer. The petitioner has submitted Ext.P3 application for the
same. The petitioner’s grievance in this writ petition is that the same is
not being considered by the 2nd respondent, although the same had
been submitted on 12.1.2009.
2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also.
3. When a person applies for NOC, the 2nd respondent has a
duty to consider the same and pass orders thereon in accordance with
law, expeditiously. Therefore, I dispose of this writ petition with a
direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3
in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate,
within three weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this
judgment.
