According to the petitioner, on a complaint submitted by her the Panchayat issued a stop memo to the third respondent. But on account of the political influence of the third respondent, the Panchayat is not prepared to take effective steps for implementing the stop memo. I do not propose to decide the merits of the matter. Ext.P1 petition has been submitted by the petitioner before the Secretary of the Panchayat. The Secretary of the Panchayat will take up Ext.P1, issue notice to the third respondent, conduct enquiry into the question whether the third respondent is having statutory licenses and permits for the conduct of the hollow bricks manufacturing unit and take a proper decision on Ext.P1 at the earliest and at any rate within two months of receiving copy of this judgment. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. No costs. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE W.P.C.No. - 2 -
