JUDGMENT

Petitioner has approached this Court complaining about the illegal functioning of a workshop by respondents 4 and 5 without having "consent to operate" issued by the Pollution Control Board.

2. Learned counsel for the 1st respondent as well as party respondents would submit that necessary consent to operate has already been issued.

3. In that view of the matter, I do not think that the petitioner is entitled to proceed with the writ petition as the factual circumstances stated is not correct. It shall always be open for the petitioner to challenge the said consent to operate by filing appeal before the appropriate authorities. Under these circumstances, the writ petition is dismissed.
