I have heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, the learned Government Pleader, the learned standing counsel appearing for the 2nd respondent as also the learned counsel appearing for the additional respondents 4 to 8. 3. In view of the order I propose to pass in this writ petition I do not think it necessary to delve into the facts and contentions any further. Admittedly, Exts.P5 and P6 applications for licences to start a poultry farm are now pending before the second respondent, the second respondent is the competent authority to consider the same. The additional respondents are persons residing nearby the proposed site of the poultry farm. Taking into consideration the pendency of said applications before the second respondent, this writ WPC No.34949/2010 2 petition is disposed of with a direction to the second respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P5 and P6 applications in accordance with law, expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of copy of this judgment with notice to the petitioner as also the additional respondents 4 to 8. It is made clear that this Court has not made any observation regarding the merits of the contentions. Sd/- C.T. RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE jma //true copy// P.A to Judge
