ANTONY DOMINIC, J. -------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO.9211 OF 2011(B) -------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 4th day of April, 2011 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is having a cement depot situated in Elathur Grama Panchayat. He sought consent from the Pollution Control Board by making Ext.P2 application. Although it is the contention of the counsel for the petitioner that all other licenses have already been obtained, the Pollution Control Board has not so far passed orders on the application. It is in this circumstance the writ petition has been filed. 2. I heard the Standing Counsel appearing for the Broad also. 3. Since the case of the petitioner is that Ext.P2 application filed by him is pending before the 3rd respondent, at this stage, all that is required is that the 3rd respondent should consider the application and pass orders thereon. This the 3rd respondent shall do as expeditiously a possible and at any ate within 4 weeks from the date of production of a copy of the judgment along with a copy of the writ petition. WPC.No.9211 /2011 :2 : Writ petition is disposed of as above. Petitioner shall produce a copy of the judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the 3rd respondent for compliance.
