BABU THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/05/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. -------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO.14494 OF 2010 (J) -------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 6th day of May, 2010 J U D G M E N T Heard the counsel for the petitioner and the standignn counsel for the respondents. 2. Challenge in this writ petition is against Ext.P4 order passed by the 3rd respondent. 3. Petitioner sought renewal/grant of licence for the period from 1.4.2010 to 31.3.2011. That was rejected by the 2nd respondent. Aggrieved by the said order, petitioner filed Ext.P2 appeal and Ext.P3 stay petition before the 3rd respondent. The appeal is also now rejected by Ext.P4. It is this order which is under challenge in this writ petition. 4. Going by the provisions contained in Section 509 of the Kerala Municipality Act, petitioner has a remedy of revision before the Tribunal for Local Self Government Institutions, if he is aggrieved by Ext.P4. Having regard to the fact that the petitioner has an effective remedy available I do not think it is necessary for this court to entertain this writ petition. However, in order to enable the WPC.No.14494 /2010 :2 : petitioner to move the revision and obtain appropriate orders from the Tribunal and to avoid coercive action based on Ext.P4, it is directed that Ext.P4 shall not be implemented for a period of 4 weeks from today. Writ Petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/
