Shri V.Venkata Ramana, learned counsel for the petitioner says that on account of non-filing of counter-affidavit, his client did not have the occasion to file rejoinder affidavit. Shri S.V.Bhatt, learned Standing Counsel for the Andhra Pradesh Pollution Control Board requests for an adjournment but keeping in view the innocuous nature of the prayer made by the petitioner, we do not consider it necessary to defer the disposal of the writ petition and feel that ends of justice would be met by directing the respondents to dispose of the application filed by the petitioner for grant of consent for establishing bio-medical waste treatment facility at Amudaladinne Village, Kavali Mandal, Nellore District within a period of two weeks and communicate order to the petitioner. Ordered accordingly. As a sequel to disposal of main writ petition, W.P.M.P. No.16135 of 2006 filed by the petitioner is also disposed of as infructuous. G.S.SINGHVI, CJ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J Date: 09.08.2006 Note: The Court Officer is directed to give an attested copy of this order to the learned counsel for the parties. kvni
