I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition at this stage since the petitioner has an effective alternate remedy by way of appeal against that order as provided under the Kerala Panchayat Raj Act. Therefore, without prejudice to such right of the petitioner, this writ petition is dismissed. Sd/- sdk+ S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE ///True copy/// P.A. to Judge 2
