However, it appears that noise pollution is slightly higher than the prescribed limit. The learned counsel for the Air Pollution Control Board agrees to consider the application of the petitioner afresh and take appropriate decision in the matter. The learned counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner would take appropriate measures to reduce noise pollution. Petition is accordingly disposed of.
