Since final orders have not yet been passed by the District Collector, it is only appropriate that the District Collector permits the petitioner to file his objections to the proposal and hears him also before final orders are passed. I dispose of the Writ Petition issuing the following directions: The petitioner will file objections incorporating all grounds which are available to him against the proposal to issue licence to respondents 4, 5 and 6 for commencement of burning and burial ground within two weeks from today. If objections are filed by the petitioner within the stipulated time, the first respondent will consider those objections and hear the petitioner also before passing final orders. Final orders as directed above will be passed by the District Collector at the earliest and at any rate within six weeks of receiving copy of this judgment. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE W.P.C.No. - 2 -
