Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the seventh respondent runs Alnaseeb Automatic Bakery and Arabian Delight’s Restaurant in a residential area, primarily dealing in meat and non- vegetarian food, without maintaining proper hygiene and causing severe nuisance to residents. The bakery, spread over three floors, uses heavy machinery to manufacture kuboos (bread), resulting in loud noise and emission of dense smoke, which settles on neighboring houses, leading to food and water contamination, dust on clothes, and respiratory issues. The seventh respondent is operating the unit without requisite statutory licenses, violating environmental laws. Additionally, the seventh respondent is allegedly storing large quantities of diesel illegally, without safety measures, posing a serious threat to the nearby residents. Despite several representations to the authorities and complaints to the Government and RTI responses, no action has been taken, compelling the petitioner to file the present writ petition. 3/7 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.No.14262 of 2023 3.
