The petitioner impugns Ext.P5 order of the Deputy Director of Panchayat which has been issued pursuant to Ext.P4 judgment of this court. The petitioner also impugns Ext.P6 order issued by the Secretary of the Panchayat which depended on Ext.P5. The petitioner has statutory remedy against Ext.P6 to the Tribunal for Local Self Government Institutions. I dispose of the Writ Petition relegating the petitioner to that remedy. I also permit the petitioner to raise grounds of challenge against Ext.P5 also in the prospective appeal before the Tribunal against Ext.P6. If the petitioner prefers appeal against Ext.P6 before the Tribunal within three weeks of receiving copy of the judgment, the Tribunal will entertain the appeal and dispose of the same in accordance with law. In the appeal to be filed by the petitioner, the third respondent and the 2nd respondent-Panchayat shall be made parties. Considering the above direction, implementation of Ext.P6 shall be kept in abeyance by the Panchayat for a period of five weeks from today. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE W.P.C.No. - 2 -
