As rightly pointed out by the learned Standing Counsel for the Municipality, the petitioner has to exhaust the remedies available to him under the statute before approaching this Court under Article 226 of the Constitute of India. Accordingly, I dispose of the writ petition relegating the petitioner to statutory remedy by way of appeal with the council of the Municipality against Ext.P4. Considering the urgency of the situation brought by the learned counsel for the petitioner, there will be direction to the Municipality not to enforce Ext.P4 for a period of three weeks from today.
