PETITIONER AND 1 District Collector, Nizamabad, and 4 others. .....RESPONDENTS ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Sri Bilal Nazki, The Acting Chief Justice) This writ petition has been filed seeking a direction to respondents 2 to 4 to close the rice mill being operated upon by the 5th respondent on the ground that it was creating pollution. Nobody is present on behalf of the petitioner. We have heard learned Counsel for respondent No. 3 and also respondent No.5. It is stated that the third respondent-Pollution Control Board had already visited the rice mill, and had given certain directions to respondent No.5, who has already undertaken to comply with those directions before the end of October, 2005. The learned Counsel for respondent No.5, however, submits that the directions given by the third respondent-Pollution Control Board need some construction activity, and because of continuous rains, those directions may not be able to be completed within the time granted, therefore, some more time may be granted. In this view of the matter, we dispose of the writ petition with a direction that the directions of the third respondent-Pollution Control Board shall be complied with by respondent No.5 by the end of December, 2005. No costs. --------------------------------- (Bilal Nazki, A.C.J) 17th October, 2005 --------------------------------- (R.Subhash Reddy, J) LUR
