THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/02/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C. KURIAKOSE,J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C) No.2842 of 2008 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated: 7th February, 2008 JUDGMENT Under challenge in this Writ Petition is Ext.P7 order of the Council of the Panchayat deciding to decline the petitioner's application for establishment of a gas bottling plant. Even though several documents have been produced by the petitioner to show that the reasons stated in Ext.P7 are incorrect, I am of the view that the petitioner has to exhausts his statutory remedies available against Ext.P7 before invoking the extraordinary constitutional jurisdiction of this court under Article 226 of the Constitution. I dispose of the Wriit Petition relegating the petitioner to his statutory remedies on Ext.P7 before the Tribunal for Local Self Government Institutions. If the Tribunal receives an appeal from the petitioner within two weeks from today, the Tribunal will entertain the appeal notwithstanding the apparent delay and dispose of the same in accordance with law. In the prospective appeal at least one of the persons who filed complaint before the Panchayat Council against the proposed establishment of the gas bottling plant shall be made a respondent. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE W.P.C.No. - 2 -
