R1 TO R5 BY GOVT.PLEADER SRI.P.N.SANTHOSHKUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/02/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: svs ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P (C) No.3506 of 2011 -------------------------- Dated this the 3rd February, 2011 J U D G M E N T Challenge in the writ petition is against Ext.P11, an order passed by the 5th respondent. Ext.P11 order is appealable under Rule 49 of the Kerala Minor Mineral Concession Rules. Since the petitioner has an alternate remedy by way of appeal, I do not think the petitioner is justified in invoking the powers of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. 2. It is directed that if an appeal is filed within three weeks from today, the same will be entertained with notice to the petitioner , in accordance with law. Writ petition is disposed of as above.
