Since the petitioner has an effective alternate remedy by way of appeal as provided under the Kerala Panchayat Raj Act, I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition. Accordingly, without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to challenge the impugned order in an appeal as provided in the Kerala Panchayat Raj Act, this writ petition is dismissed. It would be open to the petitioner to contend before the appellate authority that the order was served on the petitioner only now and therefore, there is no delay in filing the appeal.
