SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.28380 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 24th day of September, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a resident of a property adjacent to the property, in which the 4th respondent is undertaking construction activities for constructing an apartment complex. The petitioner's contention is that the construction activities cause unbearable pollution, which directly affects the petitioner. Therefore, the petitioner has filed Ext.P3 representation before the 5th respondent. The petitioner now seeks a direction to the 5th respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P3 as expeditiously as possible. 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader, the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the 3rd respondent and the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the 5th respondent. In the nature of the order I propose to pass I do not think it necessary to issue notice to the 4th respondent at this juncture. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 5th respondent to consider and W.P.(c)No.28380/08 2 pass appropriate orders on Ext.P3 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner, the Corporation and the 4th respondent. The petitioner shall forward a certified copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition to the 5th respondent for compliance. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd W.P.(c)No.28380/08 3
