DATED THIS THE 24TH OCTOBER, 2007 J U D G M E N T It is submitted by Mr.P.Haridas, counsel for the 2nd respondent that Appeal No.479 of 2007 has been preferred to the Tribunal for Local Self Government Institutions against Ext.P3, implementation of which is sought for in this Writ Petition. Mr.Haridas further submitted that a civil suit has also been filed and some interim orders have been obtained against the petitioner. 2. Since appeal has already been preferred against Ext.P3, the petitioner is not justified in insisting on implementation of Ext.P3 immediately. The Writ Petition will stand closed. The petitioner however will have the liberty to approach this Court again, if necessary after the disposal of the appeal or at least the stay petition which may be preferred. It is stated in the counter affidavit submitted by the 2nd respondent that as of now no constructions are being made. Considering that statement, the order directing maintenance of status quo will continue for a period of six more weeks from today. (PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE) tgl WP(C)N0. -2- WP(C)N0. -3-
