JUDGMENT

B.P. JEEVAN REDDY, J.- These appeals concern the establishment, working and continuance of an abattoir (mechanised slaughterhouse) by name "Al Kabeer Abattoir" situated in Rudraram Village in Patancheru Mandal of Medak District. Of the five appeals before us, Civil Appeals Nos. 3966 and 3967 of 1994 are preferred against the judgment of a Division Bench of the Andhra Pradesh High Court dated 6-4-1993 in Writ Petition No. 13062 of 1992, Civil Appeal No. 3968 of 1994 arises from Writ Petition No. 10454 of 1992 disposed of on the same day, i.e., 6-4-1993, while the Civil Appeals Nos. 3964 and 3965 of 1994 arise from the order of the High Court in Writ Appeals Nos. 896 and 899 of 1993 preferred against the order of the learned Single Judge in WPMP No. 9367 of 1993 and WPMP No. 945 of 1993 in Writ Petition No. 7483 of 1993. As the facts stated hereinafter would disclose, the said slaughterhouse has been surrounded by controversy from the very inception. Indeed, it was sought to be established earlier at Bhiwandi in Maharashtra. Some progress was also made towards installation but on account of opposition from the local people and other organisations, that location was abandoned
