Learned Standing Counsel for the Pollution Control Board reported that respondent No.6 – unit has been closed by the orders of the Pollution Control Board and respondent No.6 has filed an appeal before the appellate authority. The District Collector has filed two affidavits. In the affidavit dated 31-10-2007, it is stated that one of the thandas was provided with drinking water through tankers in accordance with our order dated 1-11-2007. In another affidavit dated 23-11-2007, it has been stated that the thanda which was provided with water through tankers is now connected with the pipes for supply of drinking water and about the other two thandas, it has been stated that water is being supplied through tankers at the rate of 25 litres per person per day. In this view of the matter, we do not think that any further orders are needed to be passed in this petition. However, it is directed that the water to the remaining two thandas shall be continued to be supplied through tankers in terms of our order till they are also connected by lines for supply of drinking water. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. _______________________________ Bilal Nazki, ACJ _______________________________ Ramesh Ranganathan, J Dated: 23-11-2007 ks
