(ORAL) This PIL has been filed seeking directions from the Court for cleaning up the streets and for drainage of stagnant water and further for providing a clean and pollution free environment in the locality of Pech Colony, Hodal, District Palwal. According to the petitioner, she had filed a representation in this regard on 17.12.2009 (Annexure P2) before the Deputy Commissioner, Palwal which has been followed by reminders dated 27.08.2010, 19.09.2010 and 25.11.2010. However, as no corrective measures had been taken by the Deputy Commissioner, the present PIL has been filed. Having regard to the grievances raised in this writ petition, we are of the view that it is the Deputy Commissioner of the concerned district who should deal with the matter at the first instance. The said authority, in our considered view, will be well equipped with the ground realities so as to order/take corrective action. Accordingly, we dispose of this PIL by CWP No. 5330 of 2011 -2- directing the Deputy Commissioner, Palwal to look into the matter and take a final decision on the grievances raised in this PIL which have been stated in the representation and reminders filed. The Deputy Commissioner will pass necessary orders in the matter within a period of three months from the date of receipt of this order. PIL shall stand disposed of in the above terms.
