POULOSE, PARATHUVAYALIL HOUSE, KEEZHILLAM P.O., ERNAKULAM. BY ADV. SRI.S.VINOD BHAT RESPONDENT: -------------------- MUDAKKUZHA GRAMA PANCHAYATH, REPRESENTED BY ITS SECRETARY. BY SR. GOVERNMENT PLEADER (SHRI K. J. MOHAMMED ANZAR) THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/07/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K. M. JOSEPH, J. -------------------------------------- W.P.C. NO. 20565 OF 2007 W -------------------------------------- Dated this the 16th July, 2007 JUDGMENT Petitioner challenges Ext.P6. It is not in dispute that Ext.P6 is appealable. In such circumstances, the Writ Petition is disposed of relegating the petitioner to the pursuit of the appellate remedy available. Of course, according to counsel for petitioner, the reason stated for refusal of licence is Ext.P7 Judgment. He has a case that the said decision will not stand in the way of the licence being granted to the petitioner. It is certainly a contention which is open to the petitioner to pursue before the appellate forum. Counsel for petitioner submits that an Appeal will be filed within one week from today. If such an Appeal is filed against Ext.P6 within one week from today, the Appeal shall be heard and disposed of in accordance with law after affording an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and any other affected party also, within a period of two months from the date of filing of the Appeal. K. M. JOSEPH, JUDGE kbk.
