Dated this the 13th day of October, 2011 JUDGMENT Petitioner, who claims to be a resident of Wadakanchery, availed of medical treatment from the local Government Hospital and has filed this writ petition complaining that respondents 6 to 10 are conducting medical shops without licence and against the conditions of the licence. 2. A counter affidavit has been filed by the second respondent where it is stated that regular inspections are being conducted by the Drug Inspectors and that if and when any irregularities are found, necessary action will be taken against the medical shops in the area. This in my view, will redress the grievance of the petitioner. 3. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing hat periodical inspection shall be continued and in case any irregularity is found, necessary action shall be taken. ANTONY DOMINIC, Judge mrcs
