BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.RENJITH THAMPAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/10/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. =============== W.P.(C) NO. 27254 OF 2007 ==================== Dated this the 3rd day of October, 2007 J U D G M E N T The grievance of the petitioners is that misusing the NOC that was issued in their favour, respondents 5 and 6 have obtained its renewal in their favour. Coming to know of the same, petitioners applied for a copy of the NOC thus renewed in favour of respondents 5 and 6. This has not been allowed and hence this writ petition. 2. I heard the learned Government Pleader. 3. In view of the allegation of the petitioners that it was misusing the NOC in their favour that respondents 5 and 6 had obtained its renewal, petitioners are justified in demanding a copy of the same. It is to enable them to pursue further action that they are seeking a copy. If that be so, there is no justification for its denial. 4. Taking into account the aforesaid circumstances, I dispose of the writ petition directing the 1st respondent to issue a WPC 27254/07 : 2 : copy of the NOC stated to have been renewed in favour of respondents 5 and 6, if any, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of two weeks of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Petitioners shall produce a copy of this judgment before the 1st respondent for compliance. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE. Rp
