According to the petitioner, Ext.P4 circular would not prevent the petitioner from getting a building permit. However, I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition in so far as the petitioner has an effective alternate remedy by way of appeal as provided under the Kerala Panchayat Raj Act. Accordingly, without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to challenge Ext.P3 in a properly constituted appeal as provided under the Kerala Panchayat Raj Act, this writ petition is dismissed.
