The present petition styled as public interest litigation has been filed by the petitioners seeking writ in the nature of mandamus to stop the operation of stone crushers and the hot mix plant of the respondent-company. There are 56 petitioners. We have gone through the pleadings carefully. The petitioners have not made any representation to the authorities constituted under various environmental laws before approaching this Court. It was incumbent for them at least to make representation to the statutory authorities for the redressal of their grievance. Consequently, the present petition is dismissed. However, the liberty is reserved to the petitioners to make representation to the statutory authorities arrayed herein for the redressal of their grievance.
