From the statement filed on behalf of the 1st respondent, it is evident that without the consent of the authorities, petitioner enhanced the capacity of the machinery and that under the guise of obtaining NOC for the existing wood based industry, attempt was to regularise the unauthorised enhancement in capacity. In view of these contentions in the statement filed by the respondents, they cannot be faulted for not renewing the NOC. It is for the petitioner to move the Central Empowered Committee in this behalf. With that liberty, this writ petition is closed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE. Rp
