R1-R2 BY ADV. SRI.V.G.ARUN R3 BY ADV.SRI.BECHU KURIAN THOMAS THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/01/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C. KURIAKOSE,J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C) No.33931 of 2005 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated: 11th January, 2008 JUDGMENT Mr.Jithesh Menon, counsel for the petitioner fairly submits that in the light of Ext.R2(b) resolution which has been passed by the Panchayat during the pendency of the Writ Petition, it will be necessary to obtain licence for conducting pig farm. But the grievance of the petitioner is that the Panchayat may reject the licence application on flimsy reasons. Therefore the learned counsel wants the Panchayat to be directed to specify to the petitioner before final orders are passed on the licence application as to what are the arrangements to be taken in the pig farm so as to prevent pollution. Considering the above submission, I dispose of the Writ Petition itself directing the petitioner to apply to the Panchayat for licence. On considering the application for licence, the Panchayat after conducting local inspection of the farm will issue necessary directions to the petitioner so that the petitioner will get an opportunity to make arrangements which are necessary for enabling the Panchayat to consider the licence application favourably. Once directions are received from the Panchayat, the petitioner will comply with those directions. The Panchayat will pass final orders on the licence W.P.C.No.33931/05 - 2 - application after hearing the petitioner and the additional third respondent and after the petitioner files compliance report regarding the directions given as indicated above. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE
