TO JUDGE tss ANTONY DOMINIC, J. --------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) 25440 OF 2007 & I.A.16115 OF 2007 --------------------------------------------------- Dated: December 7, 2007 JUDGMENT When this writ petition came up for orders, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners reported that they have given up their vakalath and that they are no longer appearing for the petitioners. 2. Along with I.A.No.16115/2007, the 4th respondent has produced an affidavit sworn to by the petitioners to the effect that they have filed this writ petition on a wrong understanding of facts. That apart, learned counsel for the Pollution Control Board submits that the 4th respondent has already been given consent in respect of the dryer unit. In view of this I do not think it necessary to keep this writ petition pending. Writ petition will stand dismissed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE mt/-
