KOCHI, JAN. 6. The Kerala High Court today admitted a writ petition against the steps taken by the Pandalam Grama Panchayat to set up an incinerator in the middle of the town for waste disposal. The court said that if the incinerator had already been set up, it would be at the risk of the person who had undertaken the contract. The court appointed an Advocate Commissioner to inspect the site where the incinerator is being set up and to prepare a report. The petition was filed by four residents of Pandalam town. According to them, the incinerator is being installed near a thickly populated area. A committee constituted by the panchayat had identified three other places for setting it up, they said. The court also issued notices to the panchayat and the Pathanamthitta District Collector.
Plea dismissed
A Bench comprising Justice K.S. Radhakrishnan and Justice M.N. Krishnan today dismissed a plea to order police protection for conducting festival at the St. John's Jacobite Syrian Church, Kanyattunirappu at Thiruvaniyoor in Ernakulam. The petition was filed by C.V. Chacko who had undertaken to organise the festival to be held on January 6 and 7. According to him, the priest of the church had threatened to disrupt the festival.
Hearing adjourned
A Bench comprising the Chief Justice B. Subhashan Reddy and Justice A.K. Basheer posted to January 11 hearing on a petition seeking to ban collection of money by newspapers and electronic media for tsunami victims. The petition was filed by P.D. Rajeev of Kochi. When the petition came up, the court asked counsel for the petitioner whether there was any legal bar on newspapers and electronic media collecting funds for tsunami relief. The petitioner said that media organisations had no right to collect money and credit them into their personal accounts. They could only propagate the necessity for donating money to the relief.
