Mrs. Uma Palsule Desai AGP for State Ms. Smita Gaidhani AGP for State in PIL 7/2010. CORAM: J.N. PATEL Acting C.J. AND B. R. GAVAI, J. DATED : 27th January, 2010. P.C.: 1. These petitions are filed by the petitioner who is running a slaughter house making a grievance against the respondent for not acting against unauthorized and illegal slaughter houses within the jurisdiction of BMC in Gr. Mumbai. The petitioner has not made any specific complaint against any slaughter house to the respondent Municipal Corporation otherwise there is no reason why the respondent Corporation should not have taken action in the matter. 2 2. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that running of such illegal slaughter house will not only cause the health problem but also causes loss of revenue to the Municipal Corporation. There is no doubt about the fact that if slaughter houses are illegal these are bound to affect public health as well as loss of revenue to the Corporation. It will be proper if the petitioner makes specific complaint in respect of the slaughter houses to the Municipal Corporation and which can be examined and dealt with by the officers of the Municipal Corporation. It is only on their failure to act that the petitioner can approach this court against the Municipal Corporation and its officials. The petitions are therefore dismissed. (Acting C.J.) (B.R. Gavai, J.)
