A.G, Punjab for the respondents. CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? No 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? No 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? No -.- K. KANNAN J.(ORAL) 1. The writ petition seeks for a direction by way of a writ of certiorari to quash the impugned order dated 02.07.2009 and 22.07.2009 under the terms of which the licence to run a Brick Kiln was cancelled. Complaining that it is a laconic order that sets out no reasons, the petitioner has approached the Court when the response by the State was that he had no clearance from the Pollution Control Board and as well as for other reasons which were not in any way substantial. On 09.10.2009, this Hon'ble Court has directed that the Secretary, Pollution Control Board will consider the application for permission to run a Brick Kiln C.W.P. No.15560 of 2009 -2- and pass suitable orders. The petitioner along with his replication has filed the communication from the Pollution Control Board dated 10.11.2009, which issues a letter of consent upto 31.03.2010. The petitioner already has the license to run the brick kiln upto 31.03.2011. In view of the fact that the petitioner has the letter of consent from the Punjab Pollution Control Board, which is operative upto 31.03.2010, the petitioner shall be allowed to continue the licence which was cancelled and the impugned orders shall stand quashed. The petitioner shall be permitted to continue his trade on the basis of licence already granted, subject to any variance of the consent given by the Punjab Pollution Control Board. 2. The writ petition is allowed on the above terms. Needless to state that the Government will be at liberty to cancel the licence, if the requisite consent of Pollution Control Board is withdrawn at any time, for any valid reason. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE January 08, 2010 Pankaj*
