                                      JUDGMENT

Raman, J.

This writ petition is filed to quash Ext.P6. Ext.P6 is a licence issued

by the Panchayat for quarrying operations in Survey No.173/4 of Pattazhy

Village, Pathanapuram Taluk. According to the petitioner, apart from Ext.P6

licence, fourth respondent ought to have obtained necessary permission to

establish work place under section 233 of the Kerala Panchayat Raj Act. The

fourth respondent has got a case that nobody is conducting quarrying operations

without obtaining the said permission by the grama panchayat. It is open to the

panchayat concerned. In such circumstances, Panchayat should look into the

matter and pass orders.

The writ petition is disposed of as above.
