RADHAKRISHNAN, J ------------------- O.P.15223/1999 -------------------- Dated this the 7th day of November, 2007 JUDGMENT In view of the directions being issued hereunder, notice to the respondents, dispensed with. 2. Writ petition is filed seeking a direction to the first respondent to close down two shop rooms and to implement Exts.P1 and P2 accordingly. With the passage of time, I do not find it necessary to issue a specific direction, because it will be open to the first respondent to consider the question of issuance of licence as and when the application for renewal comes. Law also requires that no activities referable to the D & O Rules shall be conducted without appropriate licence. Hence first respondent shall ensure that there is no slaughtering or sale of meat without appropriate licence, in accordance with law. Writ petition is disposed of as above. THOTTATHIL B.
