JUDGMENT The petitioners are owners of Mini Lorries bearing registration Nos.KL-11/U.8056, KL-11/V.6462 and KL-11/AA.209. They have been transporting river sand from the kadavu owned and operated by the first respondent Panchayat. The petitioners are aggrieved by the turn system introduced by the Panchayat for taking sand from the kadavu. It is the case of the petitioners that the new system deprives them of the right to get proper business and actually it prevents them from continuing the business. 2. Heard learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. It is pointed out that in a meeting of the concerned Committee chaired by the District Collector, there was a decision to ban the unauthorised removal of sand by persons who are involved in illegal transportation of sand. It is submitted that the said decision is being implemented for a bonafide purpose considering public good. 3. The petitioners have filed a representation before the Panchayat in the matter to which Exts.P6 and P7 replies have been received. It is indicated therein that the applications have been forwarded to the said wpc 37440/2009 2 Committee for its decision. 4. Therefore, the Committee will take appropriate decision with regard to the grievances raised by the petitioners, expeditiously and at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of production of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
