W.P.(C). No. 31125 of 2012
---------------------------------------- Dated this the 31[st] day of December, 2012JUDGMENT
The grievance of the petitioner is that, the water distributed by the 2[nd] respondent Water Authority is highlycontaminated and is not fit for drinking. Some lab report in thisregard, which attracted the media attention, as borne Ext.P1, isalso sought to be pressed into service. The learned counsel forthe petitioner submits that, no infrastructure is available to theKerala Water Authority to ascertain the actual purity of the water,but for some obsolete device. It is in the said circumstance, thatthe petitioner has filed Ext.P3 representation before the 1[st]respondent for necessary relief and the prayer is only to causethe same to be considered and disposed of within a reasonabletime.
2. Heard the learned Government Pleader for the 1[st]respondent as well.
3. Considering the limited nature of relief sought for, thisCourt finds it not necessary to go into the details of the facts and W.P.C. No. 31125 of 2012
figures. The writ petition is disposed of, directing the 1[st]respondent to consider Ext.P3 in accordance with law, aftergiving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and also theconcerned authority (2[nd] respondent) at the earliest, at any rate,within 'two months' from the date of receipt of a copy of thisjudgment.
The petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment alongwith a copy of the writ petition before the 1[st] respondent forfurther steps.
P.R. RAMACHANDRA MENON, JUDGE.
