No.3952 of 2010 --------------------------------- Dated, this the 8th day of February, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioners' objection is regarding the site chosen by the respondent Panchayat for construction of a waste treatment plant. According to the petitioners, the area being a residential area, the plant should not be located at the site chosen. 2. The suitability or otherwise of the site to be chosen for erection of waste treatment plant is essentially a matter for the respondents to identify and decide. 3. If for some reason, the land is unsuitable and the plant is going to be erected there, it is for the petitioners themselves to approach the respondents and in which event it is for the respondents to deal with the matter. Therefore, leaving it open to the petitioners to move the respondents in this behalf, I dispose of this writ petition. The petitioners shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition before the concerned respondent for doing needful in the matter. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
