KURIAKOSE, J. ---------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO. 33234 of 2007 ---------------------------------- Dated this the 28th day of January , 2008 JUDGMENT The interim order passed by this court will continue for one month from today. The impugned assessment order has been passed by the Panchayat pursuant to the directions in Ext.P1 order of the Tribunal for Local Self Government Institutions. Ext.P1 is yet to be challenged. I find merit in the submissions of Sri.Peeyus A.Kottam, the learned counsel for the 2nd respondent that if the petitioner is having any genuine grievance about the assessment order, he should challenge the same before the Tribunal rather than under Article 226 of the Constitution before this court. I dispose of this writ petition relegating the petitioner to his statutory remedies against the assessment order. Appeal, if any, shall be preferred by the petitioner within three weeks of receiving a copy of this judgment. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE, JUDGE. dpk
