P (C) No. 35894 of 2008 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 12th December, 2008. J U D G M E N T The petitioner has started a pig farm. According to the petitioner, both the Health Department and the Pollution Control Board have given appropriate sanction for the same and the petitioner constructed buildings also. However, the 1st respondent issued Ext. P6 stop memo and directed the petitioner to show cause why appropriate action should not be taken against the pig farm. Thereafter, Ext. P9 order has been issued informing the petitioner that if he does not stop the farm, the pigs should not be confiscated and sold. The petitioner is now challenging Ext. P9 order of the 1st respondent. 2. When it was pointed out to the petitioner that for rearing pigs for sale, licence under the Kerala Panchayat Raj (Issue of Licence to Dangerous and Offensive Trades and Factories) Rules, 1996, is necessary, the petitioner took time to file an application for the same and accordingly he is stated to have filed Ext. P11 application in the matter, which has been produced along with I.A.No. 15769/2008. The petitioner now confines his relief for a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P11 expeditiously. 3. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned counsel for the Pollution Control Board. In the nature of the order I propose to pass, it is not necessary to issue notice to respondents 1 and 2. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P11, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within W.P.C. No. 35894/08. -: 2 :- one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The Pollution Control Board is also directed to take a decision on the petitioner's application for consent expeditiously. S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/
