Pet, Eluru, West Godavari District causing air pollution and health hazards to the residents of that area. But, so far the same is not being considered. Hence, they filed the present writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for petitioners and learned Government Pleader for Revenue. Both counsel agreed to dispose of the writ petition at the admission stage. Since the representations of the petitioners dated 17.06.2004 and 11.08.2004 are said to be pending consideration before the respondents, without going into the merits of the matter, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondents to consider the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of at the admission stage. No costs. _________________ (N.V. RAMANA, J) Date: 30.12.2004 Nsr/Tvk ....
