GOVT.PLEADER SMT.SUDHA DEVI THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 29/01/2009,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ============== W.P.(C) NO. 2978 OF 2009 (D) ==================== Dated this the 29th day of January, 2009 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is aggrieved by Ext.P7, the prohibitory order issued by the 3rd respondent requiring the petitioner to stop his brick manufacturing unit on the allegation that the same is being run without any licences. According to the petitioner, he has established his industrial unit and the same is functioning with Ext.P3 licence issued by the Panchayat and Ext.P6 permit issued by the Mining Department. 2. A reading of Ext.P7 prohibitory order shows that the same has been issued on the presumption that the industry is running without the required licences. It is also seen that the said direction was issued acting upon the directions issued by the 1st respondent. 3. In view of the contention of the petitioner regarding the possession of the required licences, I feel that the matter needs to be examined by the 1st respondent himself. 4. Therefore, the petitioner is directed to produce licences that he has, in respect of his industrial unit, before the 1st respondent , in which case, the 1st respondent shall examine the same and if he is satisfied that the petitioner possesses all licences, the 1st respondent shall issue orders WPC 2978/09 :2 : enabling the petitioner to resume activities in his industrial unit. 5. Petitioner may produce a copy of the licences along with a copy of this writ petition before the 1st respondent, who shall examine the matter and pass appropriate orders, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within 7 days of receipt of the same. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
