PLEADER SRI.P.K.RAVIKRISHNAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 27/07/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.M.JOSEPH, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C).No.23110 OF 2007 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 27th day of July, 2007 JUDGMENT Petitioners challenge Ext.P3. Ext.P3 is an order passed under section 406(3) of the Municipalities Act. As correctly pointed out by the learned counsel for respondents 2 to 4 that petitioners have an alternate remedy under Section 509 of the Municipalities Act, petitioners are relegated to pursue the alternate remedy under section 509 of the Act. But, learned counsel for the petitioners points out that in the meantime till the petitioners prefer an appeal, the impugned order may be kept in abeyance. In view of the fact that I am relegating the petitioners to pursue the alternate remedy, the writ petition is disposed of directing that Ext.P3 shall be kept in abeyance for a period of one week from today.
