Case (C).No.1384 OF 2007 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 3rd day of October, 2007 JUDGMENT Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader. 2. Learned Government Pleader submits on instructions that the District Collector has heard the parties and directions have been issued to the builder to furnish appropriate plan for a sewage treatment plant to the Thrikkakkara Grama Panchayat. It is submitted that the District Collector is awaiting the approval and views of the Grama Panchayat in that regard, for further action. Therefore, it is obvious that the builder would not be permitted to let the premises to be occupied without completing such process as may be required in terms of the Pollution Control Board. COC.1384/07 Page numbers On the basis of what is stated above, I do not find any ground to invoke provisions of the Contempt of Courts Act against the District Collector. The contempt case is, hence, dismissed. Sd/- THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, Judge kkb.
