Dear Querist
The main question is that the ice plant was construct after the declaration of residential area or before that. If after that then file an application cum complaint to SDM OR DM under section 133 of crpc.
You may file a rti application before all department where you have filled the complaint regarding the status of your complaint.
Hello,First of all you need to pursue the complaints you have preferred before We have given applications to local municipal authority, Pollution Control Board, Industrial Safety and Health, Collector's Office etc.
If they are evasive as the matter is of a very serious nature and a huge health hazard do file a RTI petition o know about the status of the complaints and if any action is being taken..
If you find that the authorities are not taking appropriate steps to shut the factory or get it relocated you can certainly move the court under section 13 of CrPC.This is a provision to get a public nuisance removed.
1. File an RTI application before the local Municipality asking for the information whether it has sanctioned such setting up of ICE factory in rsidential area or not. If yes, then copy of the sanction,
2. File similar vRTI application before the Pollution Control board asking for the information whether it has sanctioned such setting up of ICE factory in rsidential area or not. If yes, then copy of the sanction,If no, then what action they have taken after receiving your complaint,
3. If after taking the above steps, file a Writ Petition against inaction of the municipality and the Pollution Control Board.
1. Firstly move a RTI application to the municipal corporation seeking information as to whether the municipality has sanctioned the setting up of ice factory. Also seek a copy of the sanction order, if any.
2. Also file a RTI to Pollution Board as to the status of complaints given by you.
3. If there is no reply from the above two institutions or the reply is at a variance from the ground reality then move to High Court and seek action against the ice factory.
