DISTRICT COLLECTOR, ERNAKULAM DISTRICT COLLECTORATE, KAKKANADU. GOVERNMENT PLEADER MS. K.R. DEEPA. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/02/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.5837 OF 2009 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 24th day of February, 2009 JUDGMENT The petitioner challenges the proposed construction of a burial ground by the 1st respondent – Panchayat in a property which according to the petitioner lies in a thickly populated area. I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition since the petitioner has sufficient opportunity to object to establishment of such a burial ground before the District Collector without whose permission the 1st respondent cannot establish a burial ground. Even if the District Collector grants permission, the petitioner has a right of appeal before the Government. Without prejudice to that right, this writ petition is dismissed. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
