SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.21858 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 30th day of October, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner is challenging Ext.P1 order, whereby the petitioner has been directed to demolish a shed constructed by him allegedly without obtaining building permit from the Corporation. The petitioner has got an effective alternate remedy by way of appeal as provided under the Kerala Municipalities Act. That being so, 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 under the Kerala Municipalities Act, this writ petition is dismissed. However, to enable the petitioner to move the Appellate Authority for interim orders, I direct that coercive proceedings pursuant to the impugned order shall be kept in abeyance for a period of two weeks.
