THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/03/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: H.L.DATTU, C.J. & K.M.JOSEPH, J. ------------------------------------------------------ W.P.(C) No.7679 of 2008-S ------------------------------------------------------- Dated, this the 11th day of March, 2008 JUDGMENT H.L.Dattu, C.J. A resident of Kottayi near Nedumbassery Airport is before us in this writ petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The prayers sought for in the writ petition are as under: “ i). To issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ order or direction to the respondents to strictly implement the traffic regulations, like no parking zones and ensure smooth flow of traffic. ii). Issue a writ of mandamus or any other writ, order or direction directing the 2nd respondent to consider Exhibit P1 representation of the petitioner and to take appropriate actions based on the request of the petitioner.” (2). Before approaching this Court for the aforesaid reliefs, the petitioner has filed a representation before the Superintendent of Police (Rural), Aluva dated 16-2-2008. Before the authorities could react to the request made by the petitioner, he has rushed to this Court for the reliefs indicated earlier. (3). In our opinion, the petition filed above is wholly premature. The petitioner is expected to allow the authorities to react to the WPC.7679/2008 -2- representation filed by him, and, if nothing is done by the respondent, then only as a last resort he can approach this Court. In that view of the matter, for the present, we decline to entertain the writ petition. Liberty is reserved to the petitioner to approach this Court, if need arises in future. Ordered accordingly. (H.L.DATTU) CHIEF JUSTICE (K.M.JOSEPH) JUDGE MS
