IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2366 of 2009 M/S JANKI INT UDYOG Versus THE BIHAR STATE POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD ----------- 2. 19.2.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the counsel for Bihar State Pollution Control Board. The grievance of the petitioner as with regard to issuance of a consent/ No Objection Certificate by the Board for operating Brick Klin is pending consideration since 10.1.2008. Counsel for the Board submits that on account of certain impediment such N.O.C. has not been issued. This Court would not adjudicate the merits of the claim of the petitioner for the present but then if an application is pending before the Board for more than a year, it is the duty of the Board to take a decision and communicate it to the petitioner. That being so, this Court would direct the authorities of the Board to take a final decision and communicate it to the petitioner within a period of one month from the date of receipt/ production of a copy of this order. With the aforementioned observation, this application is disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
