W.P.(C) NO. 8499 of 2008
----------------------------------
Dated this the 13th day of March , 2008
JUDGMENT
The grievance, which is voiced by the petitioner in this writ
petition, is that the third respondent is conducting a slaughter
house without any licence from the first respondent Panchayat or
from the other statutory authorities, such as the Pollution
Control Board.
2. I do not propose to decide the grounds on their merit.
But, it is seen from Ext.P1 that on entertaining the complaint
submitted by the petitioner or by others, the Public Health
Authorities has initiated proceedings against the third
respondent. The petitioner has submitted complaint -Ext.P2
before the Secretary of the Panchayat. Since Ext.P2 is apparently
pending before the Secretary of the Panchayat, it is necessary
that the Secretary of the Panchayat takes a decision on Ext.P2.
The Writ Petition is therefore disposed of issuing the following
WPC No.8499/2008 2
directions:
The Secretary of the Panchayat is directed to take up Ext.P2
immediately, issue notice to the third respondent, conduct local
inspection if necessary, ant take a correct decision on Ext.P2
after hearing the petitioner, third respondent as well as the
second respondent. The above directions will be complied with by
the Secretary of the Panchayat at the earliest and at any rate
within three weeks of receiving a copy of this judgment.
PIUS C. KURIAKOSE,
JUDGE.
