GOVT.PLEADER SRI.P.N.SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 02/03/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ============== W.P.(C) NO. 5281 OF 2009 (E) ==================== Dated this the 2nd day of March, 2009 J U D G M E N T The complaint in this writ petition is that though the petitioner has complained about the unauthorised quarry operated by respondents 7 to 14, as per Exts.P2 and P4, the authorities, despite having received complaints, have not taken any action. On this basis, petitioner sought direction to the official respondents to take action against the unauthorised quarries allegedly operated by the private parties. 2. On instructions, learned Government Pleader today submits that the 3rd respondent has inspected the site and it was confirmed that the quarry was being operated without licence. It is stated that thereupon they have issued notice to the party respondents and it is assured that necessary action will be taken. 3. In view of the above submissions made, I do not think it necessary for this Court to issue any directions as the respondents themselves had taken action in the matter. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
