Pursuant thereto, the petitioner has to conduct a trial run of the establishment when the Pollution Control Board visits the establishment for inspection. The petitioner has filed Ext.P6 representation before the 1st respondent for permitting a trail run for the purpose of inspection by the Pollution Control Board. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P6 expeditiously. 2.

The petitioner shall forward a certified copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition to the 1st respondent for compliance. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd W.P.(c)No.11779/09 3
