KURIAN JOSEPH, J. ---------------------------------------------- Original Petition No.16826 of 2001 ---------------------------------------------- Dated 4th January, 2008. J U D G M E N T Petitioner approached this court aggrieved by the alleged functioning of an industrial unit by respondents 5 to 7. Learned counsel for respondents 4 and 7 submit that the unit has been functioning with proper licence issued by the Pollution Control Board and other statutory authorities. Yet another grievance is that respondents 5 to 7 have filled up a natural thodu. Petitioner had already approached the first respondent as per Ext.P1. In case no action has been taken on Ext.P1, petitioner may produce a copy of this judgment before the first respondent, in which case, appropriate action in accordance with law in the matter will be taken with notice to the petitioner and respondents 5 to 7 expeditiously. In case the petitioner has still any grievance left regarding the pollution caused by respondents 5 to 7, he may approach the 4th respondent, in which case, appropriate action in accordance with law in the matter will be taken, with notice to the affected parties also. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
