SRI.BABU KARUKAPADATH FOR R1 SRI.BABU KARUKAPADATH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/01/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. -------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO.35430 OF 2009 (W) -------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 6th day of January, 2010 J U D G M E N T Ext.P5 is an interim order passed by the Ombudsman for Local Self Government Institutions which is sought to be challenged in this writ petition. 2. By this order, the earlier order dated 28.10.2005 passed by the Ombudsman was modified enabling the Panchayat to consider the requests made by the brick manufactures for renewing their licenses. 3. According to the petitioner, he was also engaged in brick manufacturing activities but however had to discontinue his business. It is stated that he proposes to bring clay from outside the Panchayat and manufacture bricks in his unit which is situated within the Panchayat and that for the said purpose wants licence to be issued. It is contended that though his case is not covered by Ext.P5 order, his application is not considered by the Panchayat. In my view, having regard to the nature of the relief that is sought for, it is more appropriate for the petitioner to seek clarification of Ext.P5 by making an appropriate application before the 2nd respondent itself. Therefore without prejudice to that right of WPC.No.35430 /09 :2 : the petitioner and leaving open his contentions the writ petition is disposed of. vi (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE
