Since against orders of rejection of the application for building permits, the petitioners have a right of appeal as provided under the Kerala Municipalities Act, I am not inclined to entertain these writ petitions. Accordingly, these writ petitions are dismissed without prejudice to the right of the petitioners to file appeals against the impugned orders before the appellate authority as provided under the Kerala Municipalities Act.
