BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER ADV.SRI.C.K.GOVINDAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 13/10/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.M. JOSEPH, J. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` W.P.(C) No. 29905 OF 2008 I ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 13th day of October, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner has approached this court challenging Exts.P6 and P8 orders. Ext.P6 is an order passed by the Tribunal for Local Self Government Institutions, Thiruvananthapuram. Petitioner has preferred an appeal before the said Tribunal. There was a delay of 70 days in preferring the appeal. By Ext.P4 judgment, this court directed to entertain the appeal filed by the petitioner if it is presented within 7 days from 21.2.2008 and to dispose of the same on merits. It is not in dispute that the petitioner did not present the appeal within the time under Ext.P4 judgment. On the said basis, the appeal came to be rejected by Ext.P6. Petitioner preferred review that came to be rejected by Ext.P8. Going by Ext.P4 judgment, eventhough the appeal of the petitioner is made out of time, this court had directed the appellate authority to consider the matter on merits provided WPC.29905/08 : 2 : the appeal is presented within 7 days of 21.2.2008. By the impugned orders, the Tribunal has only proceeded in terms of the directions of this court. I would think that the remedy of the petitioner if at all lies in approaching the court which passed Ext.P4. Without prejudice to any remedy the petitioner has otherwise, writ petition is dismissed.
