No. 33650 of 2001 ------------------------- Dated, this the 22nd day of February, 2007 J U D G M E N T The connected Original Petition No. 33102/2001 is disposed of today with the observation that Panchayat can take appropriate action for violation of licence condition, if any, by the 3rd respondent in the quarrying operations. In view of the observation of that judgment, there is no need to consider this case on merits, more so, because the issue is not current and this original petition is pending for over nearly six years and it is not known whether the grievance survives. This original petition is accordingly closed. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE.) jg
