Sri A.K. Verma, learned counsel for the U.P. Pollution Control Board on the basis of instructions has submitted that against two rice mills which were established by the opposite party nos. 7 and 8, necessary proceedings were initiated by the U.P. Pollution Control Board on a complaint being received. 3. The rice mill run by the opposite party no. 7 has already been closed, whereas, a notice has been issued to opposite party no. 8. 4. That being so, we do not see any reason as to why the U.P. Pollution Control Board may not take action as is warranted against the rice mills operating without adherence to the environmental laws. 5. The writ petion in view of the action being in progress does not call for further directions. We hope and trust that the necessary action will be proceeded with by the U.P. Pollution Control Board expeditiously in accordance with law. 6. The writ petion is accordingly disposed of. .
