According to the petitioner the property is laying adjacent to the reserve forest, where there are several wild animals. Petitioner states that the wild animals enter into his and other agricultural farms and destroys the crops and even attack the farmers. On account of this petitioner has made several requests before respondents 1 and 2 to provide solar energy fencing between the forest land and his property, in order to prevent entry of wild animals to the agricultural farm. Despite representations, there has not been any response and in the meantime, the attack continues. It is complaining of the above the writ petition is filed. 2. The issue raised by the petitioner is not one which is confined to the petitioner himself. It being a general issue, I think a decision from first respondent is called for in that matter. WPC.No.32811 /2010 :2 : 3. In that view of the matter, taking note of the pendency of Ext.P3 representation made by the petitioner before the first respondent, I direct the first respondent to consider Ext.P3 and pass orders thereon, which the first respondent shall done at any rate within 2 months from the date of production of a copy of the judgment along with a copy of the writ petition. Petitioner shall produce a copy of the judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the first respondent for compliance. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/
