Even though the Tribunal for Local Self Government Institutions cannot be blamed for not condoning the delay, which was caused in the matter of filing appeal by the petitioner, I am of the view that on the facts and circumstances of this case, there is justification for the tribunal being directed to entertain Ext.P18 appeal. 3. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I quash Ext.P20 and allow the application which the petitioner had field before the tribunal for condoning the delay. Accordingly, the tribunal is directed to receive Ext.P18 in appeal in file and dispose of the same in accordance with law at the earliest, at any rate within two months of receiving copy of this judgment. Till the tribunal passes final order in Ext.P18 appeal pursuant to this judgment, the Municipality will not implement the demolition order. The writ petition is disposed of as above. Pius C. Kuriakose, Judge. 2 mn.
