For Petitioner : (**)Mr.A.Haja Mohideen and P.Krishnaveni For Respondents : Mr.K.Mahendran, Special Government Pleader ****** O R D E R ********** [Order of the Court was made BY P.JYOTHIMANI, J] Mr.K.Mahendran, learned Special Government Pleader, takes notice on behalf of the respondents. By consent, the Writ Petition is taken up for final disposal at the stage of admission itself. 2. The grievance of the petitioner being a resident of Thuvarankurichi is that certain shop holders in the said area https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 are slaughtering the goats on the main road, thereby contaminating the atmosphere and causing obnoxious smelling in the air and, therefore, he has made a representation to the District Collector, the first respondent herein on 15.11.2010. The Writ Petition is for the purpose of direction against the respondents to ensure hygienic and healthy supply of meat for sale as per product. Even though the Writ Petition is containing the said prayer, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner will be satisfied, if a direction is issued to the District Collector to consider the representation, which has to be sent by the petitioner. 3. In view of the above, we are of the view that instead of the District Collector, who is the first respondent herein, the Executive Officer of Thuvarankurichi Town Panchayat, who will be the appropriate authority, shall consider the grievance of the petitioner and pass appropriate orders. 4. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the matter, the Writ Petition stands disposed of, permitting the petitioner to make necessary representation to the third respondent, within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and if such representation is given, the third respondent shall, after conducting proper enquiry, based on such representation, pass appropriate orders, within a period of four weeks thereafter.
