THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 01/10/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C. KURIAKOSE,J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C) No.29074 of 2007 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated: 1st October, 2007 JUDGMENT I do not propose to go into the merits of the matter. The grievance of the petitioner is that even though the petitioner has submitted all necessary consents and permits and No Objection Certificates in the matter of his application for licences for the conduct of a piggery, dairy farm and poultry farm, the 2nd respondent- Panchayat is going to close down his unit on the reason that licences have not been issued. Exts.P5 and P5(a) applications for renewal of licence are seen pending before respondents 2 and 3. The third respondent will take up Exts.P5 and P5(a) immediately, hear the petitioner and pass orders on those applications taking into account Ext.P11 and all other relevant documents some of which are produced along with the Writ Petition, at the earliest and at any rate within two weeks of receiving copy of this judgment as well as copy of the Writ Petition and all the exhibits. Till such time as decision is taken on Exts.P5 and P5(a), respondents 2 and 3 will permit the petitioner to maintain status quo as obtaining today as regards the piggery, the dairy farm and the poultry farm. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE W.P.C.No. - 2 -
