JUDGMENT
The above writ petition is filed with
following prayers:
"i) To issue a writ of mandamus directing the respondents 2 to 5 to take appropriate action to prevent the out flowing of waste water through the culvert situated on the eastern side of the 1st respondent's apartment;
ii) To issue a writ of mandamus directing the respondents 2 to 5 to consider and pass appropriate orders on Exhibit P2 representation within a time frame;
iii) To issue other writ, order or direction which this Hon'ble Court may deem fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of this case."
2. The petitioners are senior citizens and
they are aggrieved by the alleged illegal acts
of out flowing of waste water by the 1 st
respondent through the culverts situated in the
Changanacherry bye-pass. It is the case of the WP(C) NO.10946/2021
petitioner that, due to the flow of the above
waste water, the petitioners life is put to
difficulty. The petitioners submitted Ext.P2
representation before the respondents.
3. Today, when the matter came up for
consideration, the learned counsel for the
petitioners submitted that the petitioners will
be satisfied if a direction is issued to the 2 nd
respondent to consider Ext.P2 representation.
The learned counsel submitted that, even though
notice is not served to the 1 st respondent, this
Court can direct the 2nd respondent to issue
notice to the 1st respondent before passing final
orders in Ext.P2. I also heard the learned
Government Pleader.
4. After hearing both sides, I think this
writ petition can be disposed directing the 2nd
respondent to consider Ext.P2 and take
appropriate steps in accordance to law after
giving notice to the 1st respondent also.
Therefore, this writ petition is disposed in WP(C) NO.10946/2021
the following manner:
i) The 2nd respondent will consider
Ext.P2 and take appropriate steps in accordance
to law after giving notice to the petitioners
and the 1st respondent, as expeditiously as
possible, at any rate, within six weeks from the
date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
ii) Petitioners will produce a copy of
this judgment along with a copy of this writ
petition before the 2nd respondent for
compliance.
