This Writ Petition (C) is filed seeking the following reliefs:

" A Issue a writ of Mandamus or any other appropriate order writ or direction directing the 2^nd and 3^rd respondent to stop the illegal functioning of the poultry farm conducting by the 6^th respondent without obtaining valid license from the competent authority.

B. Issue a writ of Mandamus or any other appropriate order writ or direction directing the 3^rd to 5^th respondents to consider the Exhibits.P3 to P5 representation filed by the petitioner and take appropriate action on it. C. To dispense with the filing of translation of vernacular documents.

[SIC]

2. The grievance of the petitioner is that an illegal poultry farm is being conducted by the 6^th respondent, and the 3^rd respondent is not taking any action.

3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the Standing Counsel appearing for the Panchayat and the Pollution Control Board. I also heard the Government Pleader.

4. The manner in which this writ petition is going to be disposed of, no notice is necessary to the 6^th respondent. If the 6^th respondent is aggrieved by any of the directions issued by this court, he is free to file a review petition before this court.

5. The grievance of the petitioner is that, the poultry farm is conducted without any license, and the petitioner relied on Ext.P2 information furnished by the Panchayat under the Right to Information Act. I do not want to make any observation about the same. Petitioner has already submitted Ext.P3 before the 3^rd respondent. There can be a direction to the 3^rd respondent to consider Ext.P3 with notice to the petitioner and the 6^th respondent within a time frame.

Therefore, this Writ Petition is disposed of with the following directions:

1. The 3^rd respondent is directed to consider Ext.P3 and pass appropriate orders in it, after giving sufficient opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and the 6^th respondent, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of 30 days from the date of receipt of the certified copy of the judgment.
