Statutory permissions are essential for conducting certain activities, ensuring public health and compliance with local regulations.

JUDGMENT

The petitioner has approached this Court seeking a direction to respondents 1 to 3 to ensure that the 5^th respondent does not conduct the poultry farm mentioned in Ext.P5 without obtaining license from respondents

1, 2 and 4.

2. The grievance raised by the petitioner is that the 5^th respondent is conducting a poultry farm near to the residence of the petitioner without obtaining the statutory permissions from respondents 1 and 4 and that the farm is being conducted in an unhygienic manner, making it difficult for the petitioner to live there. Ext.P5 is the notice issued by the 2^nd respondent stating that the 5^th respondent is running the poultry farm without obtaining licence from the local authority and the 5^th respondent is directed to file objection, if any, in the matter before initiating proceedings against him under Section 255 of the Kerala Panchayat Raj Act , 1994.

3. Taking into account the above facts and circumstances, I am inclined to dispose of this writ petition with the following directions:

(i) There will be a direction to the 2^nd respondent to conduct an inspection and to see whether the 5^th respondent is running the poultry farm after obtaining necessary licence and consent from the local authorities, including the 2^nd respondent and the same is conducted in a hygienic manner.

(ii) If the same is running without obtaining valid licence and consent and is unhygienic, appropriate action shall be taken by the 2^nd respondent to close down the poultry farm.
