The grievance of the petitioner is that the 7^*^ respondent has established a poultry farm and is storing large quantity of chicken at Door No.8-244, Nizamia Madarassa, Mehtar Masjeed Street, Shalinge Katta, Adoni Town. He has been using the said premises as stock point, causing disturbances, and distributing chicken to small vending shops in an around Adoni. Though the petitioners raised a complaint against the 7^^ respondent, as no action has been initiated, the present writ petition is filed. The case of the petitioners is that earlier a notice was issued to the 7 respondent herein on 04.09.2024 by the Commissioner, Adoni Municipal 2. th 3. 3 Corporation, directing him to remove the poultry farm within 24 hours from the date of receipt of the said notice. Challenging the same, the 7'^ respondent filed W.P.No.20844 of 2024, which was disposed of on 23.09.2024. The operative portion of order is as follows: “....the J"' respondent is directed to proceed with the necessary enquiry pursuant to the above said Notice-11i dated, 04.09.2024 strictly in accordance with law by considering the undertaking given by the petitioner, by hearing all the parties concerned Including the petitioner and upon verification of the records and the subject shop, appropriate decision shall be taken on Its own merits as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of eight (8) weeks from the date of receipt of this order. Pending the above said enquiry, there shall not be any coercive action and the petitioner shall abide by the above said undertaking and comply with the requirement of law in running the above said shop. ” The case of the petitioner is that, in spite of there being an order directing the respondents to take appropriate action against the 7^'^ respondent within a period of eight (8) weeks from the date of receipt of the said order; the respondents have failed to initiate action against the 7'^ respondent herein. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners, learned Government Pleader for Municipal Administration and Urban Development and Ms.V.Sireesha Rani, learned Standing Counsel for respondent No.3. The learned Standing Counsel, Ms.Sirisha Rani, for respondent No.3, furnished a copy of the instructions from the Commissioner, Adoni, Kurnool District/Respondent No.3, wherein it is stated that, in compliance with the direction of this Court in W.P.No.20844 of 2024, sanitation officials visited the premises and a notice was served upon the 7‘^ respondent herein, directing him to remove the poultry farm. Subsequently, a legal notice through the Municipal Standing Counsel, Adoni, was also served on the respondent on 4. 5. 6. 4 12.11.2024. It is also admitted that the poultry farm is being run without any permission from the competent authority and is creating health hazards to all the residents of the locality. 7. As per the said instructions of respondent No.3, it is clear that respondent No.7 is running poultry farm without obtaining any permission from the competent authority and as such a notice was also served upon respondent No.7 herein. However, the 3'^'^ respondent has failed to state as to what action has been initiated against the 7‘^ respondent herein in pursuance of the order passed by this Court. 8. In view of the above, instead of keeping the writ petition pending, this rd Court feels it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition by directing the 3 respondent to take appropriate action against respondent No.7 in compliance to the order dated 23.09.2024 passed by this Court in W.P.No.20844 of 2024 in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 9. With the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. Miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, in this Writ Petition shall stand closed. Sd/- M.
