JUDGMENT : C. Jayachandran, J. All these Writ Petitions challenge the rejection Order of the Additional District Magistrate(A.D.M.) or the District Collector, Palakkad, as the case may be, whereby the permission sought for by the respective petitioners for display of fireworks in connection with the festival of the various temples referred to in these Writ Petitions, have been rejected. In all the impugned Orders, common reasons have been stated for rejection. The first is the absence of a magazine, a ground which has been discounted by this Court in a catena of judgments, holding that a permanent magazine is not required for a temporary event like the festival of a temple, and that a portable magazine would suffice. The said ground cannot therefore hold good. The second ground is the absence of a P.E.S.O approved risk assessment plan and on- site emergency plan. This ground also has been rejected by this Court on several occasions noticing that an agency approved by P.E.S.O is not available in Kerala, the nearest one available being at Nagpur. There is no case that the respective petitioners have not produced any on-site emergency plan and risk assessment plan. The solitary objection is that it has not been issued by an agency approved by P.E.S.O. The third reason stated is that the petitioners have not given the details of the fireworks to be used. In answer to the same, learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that only those fireworks covered and permitted by the LE1 license can be used by the petitioners. Rule 107(8) of the Explosive Rules would safeguard that aspect. The petitioners have no intention to use any cracker, other than those approved under the LE1 license. 2. In the light of the above discussion, all the respective rejection Orders are liable to be set aside. It is so done. There will be a direction to the respective A.D.Ms/District Collectors, as the case may be, to grant permission to the respective petitioners subject to the following conditions: (i) The respective petitioners shall produce portable magazine/magazines to the satisfaction of the authorities for the storage of the fire works. (ii) The petitioners shall satisfy all other requisite conditions for fireworks display under LE-6 license to the satisfaction of the authorities. (ii) The petitioners shall satisfy all other requisite conditions for fireworks display under LE-6 license to the satisfaction of the authorities. (iii) Before commencement of the fireworks display, barricades shall be put up at a distance of 100 metres of the display point on all sides and no one except the persons who are performing fireworks display shall be permitted into the prohibited area of 100 metres. (iv) The quantity of the fireworks shall be limited to 15 kilograms. (v) The police department and other statutory authorities shall supervise the entire fireworks display and issue necessary directions, if necessary. (vi) In case of violation of any of the conditions, it will be open to the ADM or other competent officials to take appropriate action in accordance with law. 3. As regards the inspection of the sample crackers, the petitioners, in all cases except in W.P.(C).No.10621/2026, will produce the same before the 3 rd respondent/A.D.M. today itself by 05.00 p.m. The A.D.M./District Collector will stand directed to receive the samples, and do the needful for testing/identification of the same, to ascertain whether there is any objectionable material in the crackers. In these cases, the above exercise shall be completed by 05.00 p.m. tomorrow. As regards the inspection of the sample crackers in W.P.(C).No.10621 of 2026, the same will be produced before the 3 rd respondent/A.D.M. on 23.03.2026 by 10.00 a.m. and the same shall be completed by 05.00 p.m. on 24.03.2026. The license to be granted as per the directions of this Court will be subject to the result of testing/verification. The learned Government Pleader will inform the gist of the judgment to the 3 rd respondent/A.D.M. forthwith. These Writ Petitions will stand allowed, as indicated above.
