HON’BLE THE ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE SRI BILAL NAZKI AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C. BHANU Writ Petition No.16866 of 2005 Dated: 23rd November 2005 Between: D. Ram Kumar … Petitioner And The District Collector, Krishna District at Machilipatnam and three others. … Respondents Oral Judgment: (per the Hon’ble Sri Bilal Nazki, the Acting Chief Justice) … The grievance of the petitioner is that pollution is created in the village by allowing the slaughter of animals. In response to this allegation, it is submitted by the Gram Panchayat that by resolution dated 17-12-2004 shops constructed by it in the site in R.S.No.444/2 were allotted to persons selling mutton and fish. There was a condition in the allotment order that they would only sell mutton and fish from these shops and slaughtering of animals should be done in the area earmarked in the Panchayat near burial ground. In this view of the matter, we think that the mutton and fish shops have been established with the permission of the Gram Panchayat and, therefore, no directions are necessary to be given in this regard. However, it is made clear that the shop owners should not be allowed to slaughter the animals in and around the shops. With the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of. _________________ (Bilal Naki, ACJ) ________________ (K.C. Bhanu, J) 23rd November 2005 svs
