SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ WP(C) NO. 15889 OF 2005 - N ------------------------------------- Dated this the 11th day of July, 2007 J U D G M E N T The petitioner has approached this Court with this writ petition alleging that respondents 6 and 7 are conducting quarrying operations without permit/licence. The learned counsel appearing for respondents 6 and 7 submit that they had earlier a permit which has expired and therefore, they have no intention to conduct quarrying in the land in question. In view of this undertaking, nothing need be done in this writ petition except to record the said submission. Accordingly, the said submission is recorded. 2. The first respondent has filed a statement along with which they have produced Ext.R1(a) wherein the first respondent has stated that quarrying operation in Sy.No.238/5, Block No.12 of Ayiroopara Village has been ordered to be stopped with immediate effect. In the above circumstances, I further direct respondents 1 to 5 to see that Annexure R1(a) is strictly complied with and WP(C) NO.15889 of 2005 :-2-: respondents 6 and 7 do not conduct any quarrying operations without all valid permits/licences. The writ petition is disposed of as above. S. SIRI JAGAN, Judge Mbs/ WP(C) NO.15889 of 2005 :-3-: S.SIRI JAGAN, J ------------------------------------ W.P.(C) NO.
