The 1st respondent will take up Ext.P6 representation submitted by the petitioner, issue notice to the petitioner as well as to the 4th respondent and take a correct and just decision on the same after holding all necessary enquiries into the question whether the 4th respondent is having statutory permits and consents for operating the stone crusher unit. If necessary the 1st respondent will call for report from the concerned Environmental Engineer of the Pollution Control Board. Orders as directed above will be passed by the 1st respondent at the earliest and at any rate within W.P.C.No.27174/07 - 2 - two months of receiving copy of the judgment.
