THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P(C).No.22087 OF 2009 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 17th day of September, 2009 JUDGMENT The petitioner states that autorikshaws are parking near his house in a manner which results in inconvenience to him. He points out a direction of the Kerala State Human Rights Commission also. Parking of an autorikshaw and other allied matters are to be taken care of by the Traffic Advisory Committee of the locality because it requires the involvement of the police officials, the motor vehicle authorities as also the panchayat authorities. It may also require the involvement of other departments, if the road is a PWD road and does not vested in the panchayat. Whatever that be, it is not for this Court to decide on such issues. The panchayat also cannot be compelled to decide on the issue by itself. The parking space for commercial vehicles requires clearance of the Regional Transport Authority in terms of the provisions of the relevant laws. With that, the petitioner's grievances can be attended to only by the Regional Transport Authority. The petitioner may, if WPC.22087/09 Page numbers still aggrieved, seek such redressal. Without prejudice to that, this writ petition is dismissed. Sd/- THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, Judge. kkb.22/9.
