THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 30/05/2008, THE COURT, ON THE SAME DAY, DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W. P (C) No. 16240 of 2008 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 30th May, 2008. J U D G M E N T Petitioner challenges Ext. P7 notice by which the petitioner has been directed to vacate the old paid urinal at the KSRTC Bus Stand, for running which the petitioner has taken a contract from the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation. The petitioner contends that Ext. P7 was not preceded by a hearing. Admittedly, the petitioner has filed O.S. No. 166/2008 before the Munsiff's Court, Karunagappally seeking reliefs in the matter. He failed to obtain an interim order in that suit. That suit is still pending. That being so, the petitioner has to pursue his remedies in that suit and he cannot file a writ petition for the same relief, which amounts to forum shopping. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/ [True copy] P.S to Judge.
