No. 2/2007. Coram:- SMT. V.K.TAHILRAMANI & R. M. SAVANT, JJ. Date:- 17th December, 2009 P.C. 1. Heard. The Goa State Pollution Control Board has filed an affidavit in relation to Quepem Municipal Council stating that the interim and immediate measures ordered by this Court have been complied with by the said Council. Learned Amicus Curiae has brought to our notice the provisions of Rule 27 of the model bye-laws under GDD Municipal Council Building Bye-Laws, 1987. Shri Naik, learned Counsel appearing on behalf of said Municipal Council submits that said bye-laws have been adopted by the Quepem Municipal Council, and if that be so, and as submitted by learned Amicus Curiae, we do not see any reason why the said Municipal Council should not insist that the constructions coming up within its jurisdiction comply with the provisions of the said byelaw as well. 2. Considering our previous orders, as well as the provisions of the said bye-law, we grant leave to the Quepem Municipal Council to issue construction licences and/or occupancy certificates to the petitioners in the aforesaid writ petitions, subject to compliance of the said bye-law. They may do so within a period of 3 weeks from today. We expect that the said Municipal Council will enforce the compliance of the said bye-law before granting Occupancy Certificates. Application disposed of in above terms. SMT. V.K.TAHILRAMANI, J. R. M. SAVANT, J. MF/-
