IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.3199 of 2011 Date of Decision : February 22, 2011. Chand Singh and others .....Petitioners versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Gurcharan Dass, Advocate, for the petitioners. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioners are residents of village Sayan Kalan, District Ludhiana. They are aggrieved by the order dated 30.12.2010 (Annexure P- 6) passed by the State Government granting exemption to respondent No.6 under Clause 21 of the Punjab Control of Bricks Supplies & Distribution Order, 1998 in respect of the siting parameters. The petitioners have raised various contentions like, non-submission of any application by respondent No.6 through proper channel and/or within the prescribed period. It is also urged that the bricks kiln installed by respondent No.6 is at a distance of less than 750 square meters, if measured by crow-fly and would thus become a permanent cause of pollution for the inhabitants of the village. C.W.P.No .3199 of 2011 2 It may be mentioned here that the petitioners had earlier approached this Court by filing Civil Writ Petition No.2543 of 2011, purportedly in 'Public Interest' which was not entertained and declined by this Court vide order dated 10.2.2011 (Annexure P-11), though they were permitted to file a regular writ petition confining their challenge to grant of renewal of licence to respondent No.6. In my considered view, if the petitioners have any genuine grievance against the renewal of licence of respondent No.6, firstly it is imperative upon them to approach the competent authority and in the event of non-redressal of their grievance, that can approach this Court. Keeping in view the totality of the facts and circumstances, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent No.2 to treat this writ petition as a representation on behalf of the petitioners and dispose of the same by passing a speaking order, preferably after hearing them in representative capacity, within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. February 22, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
