THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION
ON 04.08.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE
FOLLOWING:
WP(C) NO. 14163 OF 2021 2
JUDGMENT
The petitioner states that he is the managing partner of 'Solo
Industries' an establishment situated in Moorkkanad Grama Panchayath in
Malappuram District. He is engaged in the processing of chicken waste and
production of animal protein powder. He contends that the operation of
the establishment was started after obtaining all necessary licences and
permits. Reference is made to Ext.P1 factory licence granted by the
Department of Factories and Boilers, Ext.P2 licence issued by the local
authority, Ext.P3 acknowledgement certificate issued by the General
Manager, District Industries Centre, Ext.P4 ownership certificate issued by
the local authority and Ext.P5 consent to operate issued by the Pollution
Control Board. However, his grievance is that some unidentified persons
are causing serious disruption in the running of the business. In the said
circumstances, Ext.P6 complaint was lodged before the police seeking
initiation of action but no action was taken. It is in the afore circumstances
the petitioner is before this Court seeking directions to the respondents to
take appropriate action on the complaints lodged so as to enable the
petitioner to carry on the functioning of the establishment in a smooth,
efficient and productive manner.
2. The learned Government Pleader on instructions submits that no
specific individual has been arrayed as respondents in the writ petition. A
detailed enquiry was conducted by the police and it was found that the
establishment is functioning without any obstruction. It is further
submitted that since the petitioner has all valid licences and permits if any
obstruction is caused by any individuals, the petitioner may approach the
police and lodge a complaint and swift action shall be taken.
3. I have considered the submissions advanced.
4. As rightly submitted by the learned Government Pleader, no
individual has been named in the writ petition. However, the records
reveal that the petitioner is operating the unit after obtaining all valid
licences and permits. In that view of the matter, necessary directions can
be issued.
5. This writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the
petitioner to approach the 2nd respondent if any obstruction is caused or
any threats are made by any individual/group to the smooth functioning of
M/s.Solo Industries within the limits of Moorkkanadu Grama Panchayat. If
such a complaint is lodged, the 2nd respondent shall ascertain the
genuineness of the allegations and take appropriate action.
