Though written statement has not been filed on behalf of Municipal Council, Tarn Taran, learned counsel representing the said body has make a statement before the Court that presently negotiations are going on with the concerned Gram Panchayat i.e. Gram Panchayat of village Palasaur, District Taran Tarn, for making available the earmarked plot for the purpose in question. Learned CWP No. 15879 of 2010 [2] counsel, therefore, has prayed for some time to enable the final result of the process of negotiations to be laid before the Court. We do not think it necessary to grant any further time to the Municipal Council, Taran Tarn. Instead, we are of the view that it would be appropriate to dispose of the Public Interest Litigation with the direction that negotiations which are presently going on be completed within six weeks from today and thereafter the earmarked plot be made available for the purpose of disposal of dead bodies of the animals. We further direct that once the aforesaid arrangement is put into place, the Municipal Council, Tarn Taran shall ensure that the dead bodies of animals are not thrown into Kasoor Nala any further. With the aforesaid directions, the PIL stands disposed of. A copy of this order be given dasti to learned counsel for respondent No.5 under the signatures of the Bench Secretary.
