JUDGMENT
This writ petition is filed by the petitioner seeking the following reliefs:-
"a) Call for the records leading up to Ext.P5, and issue a writ of certiorari or any other appropriate writ order or direction quashing Ext.P5 order issued by the 3rd respondent.
b) Issue a Writ of Mandamus or any other appropriate writ order or direction commanding the 2 nd respondent to enforce Ext.P6 stop memo issued by the 2nd respondent against the functioning of industry of the 5th respondent
c) Grant such other relief deemed fit to this Hon'ble Court."
2. The subject issue relates to the alleged pollution caused by an
industrialist and the inaction on the part of the respondents to abate the
nuisance. However, today when the matter was taken up, Adv. Lakshmi
V.Pillai, representing Adv. Rajit, learned Counsel for the petitioner, submitted
that the industry is already shifted to industrial estate and the issue no more
survives.
Therefore, the writ petition is dismissed, recording the above.
