Aggrieved by the establishment and operation of a granite quarrying, the petitioner has approached this Court.

This Court, as per interim order dated 30.03.2007, directed that the quarry should not be permitted to operate without consent of the court in view of the statement of the Pollution Control Board. As the very purpose sought to be achieved by the filing of the writ petition has been served, the writ petition is disposed of making the interim order absolute. Sd/- A.V.
