THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/10/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C. KURIAKOSE, J. .......................................................... W.P.(C)No.30537 OF 2007 ........................................................... DATED THIS THE 16TH OCTOBER, 2007 J U D G M E N T The petitioner seeks a direction to the respondent-Director of Panchayats to dispose of Ext.P2 appeal early. But, as rightly pointed out by Mr.K.J.Mohammed Anzar, Government Pleader Ext.P2 appeal directed against Ext.P1 order will not be maintainable before the respondent. Appeal, if at all, will have to be preferred against Ext.P1 to the Tribunal for Local Self Government Institutions. Since it is apparent that Ext.P2 appeal is not maintainable before the respondent, this Court will not be justified in issuing any direction to the respondent for disposing of Ext.P2 appeal. The Writ Petition will stand dismissed. (PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE) tgl WP(C)N0. -2- WP(C)N0. -3-
