This led to nuisance in the locality on account of pollution. The matter reached this Court in 2006 and directions were issued that the petitioner shall not be permitted to operate unless the unit is cleared by the Pollution Control Board. Now the petitioner states that following a trial run with the consent of the PCB, he has been issued a consent to operate. As a consequence, Ext.P6 is pending before the Corporation for renewal of the licence. Without expressing anything on merits, it is directed that Ext.P6 will be taken up by the competent among the respondents and a decision taken thereon in accordance with law, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. All other issues are left open. The writ petition is ordered accordingly. Sd/- THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, Judge. kkb.19/8.
