RAJA VIJAYARAGHAVAN, SC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 05/08/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. =============== W.P.(C) NO. 23438 OF 2008 M ==================== Dated this the 5th day of August, 2008 J U D G M E N T Though in this writ petition the challenge is against Exts. P4 and P5, on the ground that it was during the pendency of the application made by the petitioners for issue of licence that the aforesaid stop memos have been issued by the Panchayat, counsel only submits that his endeavour is to liquidate the existing chicken stock. To this the Panchayat also has no serious objection. But however, the Panchayat only submits that the petitioners should not increase the stock in any manner. 2. Counsel for the petitioners undertakes before me that they will not increase stock in any manner and that within 2 weeks from today, they will ensure that the entire existing stock is liquidated. He only submits that in the meanwhile, the Panchayat should not proceed further with Exts. P4 and P5. 3. Now that the counsel for the petitioners has undertaken before me that they do not intend to increase the stock in any manner and that their only endeavour is to liquidate the existing stock, I feel two weeks time sought for is only reasonable. WPC 23438/08 :2 : 4. Therefore, I direct that in order to enable the petitioners to liquidate the existing stock, proceedings further to Exts. P4 and P5 shall be kept in abeyance by the Panchayat for a period of 2 weeks from today. 5. Needless to say that the Panchayat shall pass final orders on Ext.P3 application stated to have been made by the petitioners for issue of licence untramelled by the undertaking given as above. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
