P.R.Raman, Ag. C.J.\n<\/p>\n
            Petitioner is an individual residing within the area of the<\/p>\n
first respondent Grama Panchayat with his family. He styled himself<\/p>\n
as a public spirited citizen. The grievance raised in this writ petition is<\/p>\n
that there are about 11 brick manufacturing units in the first respondent<\/p>\n
Panchayat, most of which are functioning in paddy fields excavating<\/p>\n
clay from the paddy fields and mixing the same with ordinary earth. It<\/p>\n
is stated that the Grama Panchayat had taken a decision that licence to<\/p>\n
run brick manufacturing unit within the territory of the first respondent<\/p>\n
Panchayat would be granted only if the applicant for licence produces<\/p>\n
no objection certificate and permission from the statutory authorities<\/p>\n
and after getting consent from the people residing within 250 metres of<\/p>\n
the proposed unit.     Ext.P3 is stated to be the relevant extract of the<\/p>\n
minutes of the meeting of the Grama Panchayat held on 19.11.2009. It<\/p>\n
is also stated that the Additional Tahsildar, Vaikom had issued orders<\/p>\n
W.P.(C) No.2688 of 2010\n<\/p>\n
                                  – 2 –\n<\/p>\n
to the first respondent Panchayat detailing as to how it has to deal<\/p>\n
with the application for licence. It is further stated that since it<\/p>\n
involves conversion of paddy fields, the provisions contained in the<\/p>\n
Kerala Land Utilisation Order and also the Kerala Conservation of<\/p>\n
Paddy Land and Wet Land Act, 2008 will be applied. It is also stated<\/p>\n
that orders have been issued by the revenue authorities evidenced by<\/p>\n
Exts.P6 to P9, stopping the brick manufacturing activities until a<\/p>\n
decision is taken. The complaint of the petitioner is that despite such<\/p>\n
orders, the authorities are not taking appropriate action. There is yet<\/p>\n
another complaint that Exts.P10 to P17 are other orders of like nature<\/p>\n
issued by the Panchayat and the Panchayat itself has requested the<\/p>\n
authorities for enforcement of the orders passed. But according to the<\/p>\n
petitioner, except in paper, those orders are not implemented. Hence<\/p>\n
he prays for a writ of mandamus to be issued by this Court not to<\/p>\n
grant licences and permissions to respondents 11 to 20 under Sections<\/p>\n
232 and 233 of the Kerala Panchayat Raj Act and also for a direction<\/p>\n
to respondents 1 to 10, 21 and 22 to see that Exts.P6 to P17 are<\/p>\n
implemented strictly and take appropriate action and finally for a writ<\/p>\n
W.P.(C) No.2688 of 2010\n<\/p>\n
                                  – 3 –\n<\/p>\n
of mandamus to respondents 1 to 10, 21 and 22 to see that the<\/p>\n
functioning of brick manufacturing units by respondents 11 to 20 is<\/p>\n
stopped at the earliest.\n<\/p>\n
            2.     Though a counter affidavit is filed by the 11th<\/p>\n
respondent and the other respondents are yet to file their counter<\/p>\n
affidavits and seek time for filing such counter affidavits, in the view<\/p>\n
we are taking it is not necessary for us to enter into any finding<\/p>\n
regarding the alleged facts stated in the writ petition.<\/p>\n
            3. So long as there are orders issued by the revenue<\/p>\n
authorities stopping the brick manufacturing activities, if a complaint<\/p>\n
is made to them alleging any violation, certainly it is for the revenue<\/p>\n
authorities to take action in accordance with law after hearing all<\/p>\n
affected parties.      Likewise, whether or not a licence has to be<\/p>\n
granted to any brick manufacturing unit is a matter that is to be<\/p>\n
considered by the Panchayat. This Court cannot issue a writ of<\/p>\n
mandamus prohibiting the Panchayat not to give any such licence.<\/p>\n
Secondly, if the Panchayat has issued orders stopping the brick<\/p>\n
manufacturing units only because no licence has been granted or<\/p>\n
W.P.(C) No.2688 of 2010\n<\/p>\n
                                   – 4 –\n<\/p>\n
there is any violation of the conditions of the licence, there are<\/p>\n
sufficient provisions under the Kerala Panchayat Raj Act enabling<\/p>\n
them to move the appropriate authorities for taking action. We need<\/p>\n
not execute the orders issued by the Panchayat. If the Panchayat<\/p>\n
could not implement its order and there is any inaction on the part of<\/p>\n
the said authorities, certainly it is open to the Panchayat to come to<\/p>\n
this Court as against any such inaction, whereupon this Court may<\/p>\n
consider such contention in the appropriate petition, if any, filed. All<\/p>\n
that we say is that at this stage of the proceeding we cannot enter a<\/p>\n
finding on the disputed orders passed by the authorities. If there is<\/p>\n
any violation, that is a matter at the first instance to be considered by<\/p>\n
the concerned authorities who have issued the orders.<\/p>\n
            4. As far as the affected persons who are indulged in the<\/p>\n
activity of brick manufacturing is concerned, it is certainly open to<\/p>\n
them to apply to the respective authorities, whereupon the respective<\/p>\n
authorities will have necessarily to consider the application in<\/p>\n
accordance with the provisions governing the same and, therefore, the<\/p>\n
orders stopping the activities of the brick manufacturing units, at this<\/p>\n
W.P.(C) No.2688 of 2010\n<\/p>\n
                                   – 5 –\n<\/p>\n
stage, shall not adversely affect their right to move the authorities to<\/p>\n
get sanction in accordance with law.\n<\/p>\n
            5. In the result, we direct that in case any complaint of<\/p>\n
violation of any order competently passed by the appropriate<\/p>\n
authority under the       provisions contained in the Kerala Land<\/p>\n
Utilisation Order and also under the Kerala Conservation of Paddy<\/p>\n
Land and Wet Land Act, 2008, is made by the petitioner, that<\/p>\n
authority will consider his complaint after hearing all the parties and<\/p>\n
pass appropriate orders in this regard. In case, there is any inaction<\/p>\n
on the part of the first respondent Panchayat in taking further action,<\/p>\n
it is open to the petitioner to approach the Ombudsman for Local Self<\/p>\n
Government Institutions.\n<\/p>\n
            Writ petition is disposed of as above.\n<\/p>\n
