TO JUDGE Rp ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 32641 OF 2011 ===================== Dated this the 8th day of December, 2011 J U D G M E N T Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners, learned Government Pleader and the learned standing counsel appearing for the 3rd respondent. 2. In Ext.P3 proceedings of the 1st respondent, it was stated that in so far as the Cherukadu kadavu within the 3rd respondent is concerned, the said kadavu will be reopened for sand mining after settling the pending disputes. Petitioners say that delay in settlement of dispute will result unemployment to sand mining workers. Thereafter, they approached this Court seeking a direction to the 1st respondent to settle the dispute and to reopen the kadavu in question. 3. As already seen, the only objection contained in Ext.P3 for reopening the kadavu is the pendency of the disputes. Since such disputes are to be settled, I direct the 1st respondent to take appropriate action in the matter. This shall be done as WPC No.32641/11 :2 : expeditiously as possible and with notice to the parties concerned. Writ petition is disposed of as above ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
