The petitioner has come before this Court seeking writ of mandamus directing the 2nd Respondent to permit the petitioner to lift ash from the Ennore Thermal Power Station without insisting any conditions.
2. When the matter is taken up for hearing, it is brought to the notice of this court that, in similar circumstances, this Court, in WP No.23778 of 2016, by order dated 13.07.2016 which was subsequently followed in WP No.30373 of 2016 dated 31.08.2016, given a direction to the second respondent to permit the petitioner to lift the ash from the Ennore Thermal Power Station.
3. Though Mr.S.K.Raameshuwar, learned standing counsel appearing for the respondents would object that the petitioner company is not being run for almost one year, Mr.Velmurugan, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit that because of non-supply of fly ash, the manufacturing activities could not be continued. He has also filed a memo of undertaking signed by the petitioner stating that on allotment of fly ash by the respondents, they shall continue to manufacture fly ash products.
4. In the light of the above order passed by this Court in WP No.30373 of 2016 dated 31.08.2016, this writ petition is also allowed on the same lines, as hereunder : "There shall be a direction to the respondents, especially, the second respondent to permit the petitioner to lift the fly ash from "North Chennai Thermal Power Station II (NCTPS II). However, this order will not prevent the respondents from verifying the purpose for which the fly ash isb eing used and if it is not used for the admitted purpose, it is always open to the
respondents to take appropriate proceedings/action."
No costs.
