RESPONDENT'S EXHIBITS: N I L /TRUE COPY/ P.S.TO JUDGE Kss ANTONY DOMINIC, J. -------------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) 22181 of 2008 -------------------------------------------------------- Dated: AUGUST 26, 2008 JUDGMENT The direction sought for in this writ petition is for the implementation of Ext.P3, by which the 2nd respondent was directed by the 1st respondent Panchayat to rectify the defects in a smoke house. 2. The learned standing counsel appearing for the Panchayat now submits that they have already issued a stop memo to the 2nd respondent and that as at present, the smoke house is not functioning. 3. Though this submission of the learned standing counsel that the smoke house is not functioning, is disputed by the petitioner, still having regard to the fact that the stop memo has been issued, it is the responsibility of the Panchayat, to ensure its compliance. If at all the 2nd respondent, the operator of the smoke house, has any grievance about the stop memo, it is upto him to pursue the WP(C) 22181 of 2008 2 matter in the manner known to law. 4. Therefore the writ petition is disposed of directing that the Panchayat shall ensure that the stop memo, which they have issued, is implemented and that the same is complied with.
