BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.I.V.PRAMOD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 08/01/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. =============== W.P.(C) NO. 134 OF 2008 ===================== Dated this the 8th day of January, 2008 J U D G M E N T The complaint of the writ petitioner is regarding the alleged illegal sand mining that is now resorted to by respondents 5 and 6 in a property that belongs to the 7th respondent. Petitioner submits that on account of this sand mining, her neighbouring property is in danger. Highlighting her grievances, it is seen that she has made Ext.P2 complaint to the District Collector and endorsement on Ext.P2 shows that the same has been forwarded to the Tahsildar for immediate action. 2. Since action is already initiated on Ext.P2 complaint, I feel the appropriate course to be opted in this writ petition is to direct the 1st respondent to take expeditious action on Ext.P2. 3. Therefore, I dispose of this writ petition itself directing that the 1st respondent shall take appropriate action on Ext.P2 WPC 134/08 :2 : complaint with notice to respondents 5, 6 and 7, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within four weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. I have no reason to think that if any order is passed by the 1st respondent, the Law Enforcing Agencies will not implement the same without delay. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE. Rp
