PLEADER SMT.K.R.DEEPA THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 12/06/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: tss THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C).No.16272 of 2009-D = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 12th day of June, 2009. JUDGMENT The petitioner challenges Ext.P9 building permit granted to the third respondent. There appears to be certain civil suits between the parties. Whatever that be, the grant of permission is a matter that can be subjected to an appeal before the Tribunal for Local Self Government Institutions. The petitioner has filed such an appeal and also an application for interim relief pending that appeal. He now seeks indulgence of this Court to issue an order restraining the construction pending decision of the matter before the Tribunal, i.e., in essence, seeking an interlocutory order pending an interlocutory application before the Tribunal. In my view, the visitorial jurisdiction of this Court is not to be extended in such matters more so, having WP(C)16272/2009 -: 2 :- regard to the facts and circumstances of the case in hand. The writ petition fails. The same is dismissed without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to seek the Tribunal's intervention to expedite the final hearing of the interlocutory application pending before it.
