JUSTICE S.SIRI JAGAN MONDAY, THE 15TH DECEMBER 2008 / 24TH AGRAHAYANA 1930 WP(C).No. 36860 of 2008(K) ----------------------------------- PETITIONER: ---------------- SAIDU HAJI, KARADI KANDATHIL HOUSE ARAMBRAM, PADANILAM POST, KOZHIKODE. BY ADV. SRI. O.D. SIVADAS RESPONDENT: ----------------- SECRETARY, KUNNAMANGALAM GRAMA PANCHAYATH, KUNNAMANGALAM, KOZHIKODE DISTRICT. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 15/12/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.36860 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 15th day of December, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner challenges Ext.P8 order, whereby the petitioner has been directed to demolish certain buildings on the ground that the construction is unauthorized. I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition since the petitioner has an effective alternate remedy by way of appeal as provided under the Kerala Panchayat Raj Act. Therefore, the writ petition is dismissed without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to seek appellate remedies as provided under the Kerala Panchayat Raj Act. However, the learned counsel for the petitioner raises an apprehension that before the petitioner can move the Tribunal and get interim orders, the order may be implemented. It is only appropriate that the petitioner be given some time to approach the Tribunal and to seek interim orders. For this purpose, I direct that Ext.P8 order shall not be implemented for a period of two weeks. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
