KURIAKOSE,J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C) No.7683 of 2008 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated: 6th March, 2008 JUDGMENT The grievance voiced by the petitioners is that the 4th respondent has applied for the 1st respondent-Panchayat for granting licence for commencing a large scale poultry farm and that Exts.P1 and P2 complaints submitted by them against grant of such licence is not being considered by the Panchayat. I do not propose to go into the merits of the matter. Exts.P1 and P2 are apparently seen pending before the Panchayat. The 1st respondent-Panchayat is directed to take up Exts.P1 and P2 immediately, consider the allegations levelled therein on the basis of local inspections and take a final decision on Exts.P1 and P2 after hearing a representative of the petitioners and the 4th respondent. Final decision as directed above shall be taken by the 1st respondent at the earliest and at any rate within one month of receiving copy of this judgment. Any licence issued to the 4th respondent in the meanwhile will be subject to the said decision. The petitioners are directed to send a copy of this judgment over to the 4th respondent as soon as they receive the same. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE W.P.C.No. - 2 -
