FOR R5 GOVERNMENT PLEADER SHRI.K.RAMESH FOR R1&2 THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 11/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No. 17356 of 2009 ================== Dated this the 11th day of June, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner challenges Ext.P12 order passed under the Kerala Conservation of Paddy Land and Wet Land Act, 2008, by the District Collector and Ext.P13 order of the RDO to implement Ext.P12 order. I am not inclined to exercise my discretionary jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India to interfere with Exts.P12 and P13, since the petitioner has an effective alternate remedy by way of an appeal before the District Court as provided under Section 21 of the Act. Therefore, without prejudice to that right of the petitioner, this writ petition is dismissed. However, to enable the petitioner to file an appeal and seek interim orders, I direct that the interim order passed in this case would continue to be force for a period of one month.
