SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.9500 OF 2009 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 25th day of March, 2009 JUDGMENT The petitioners are aggrieved by a permit, granted to a Company offering mobile phone services for using a telecommunication tower, on the ground that if the licence is granted to more than one Company to use the same tower, it would cause serious pollution and health problems. I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition for two grounds. First is that the petitioners have not impleaded the Company to which the licence has been granted, about which the petitioners raise complaint. Secondly, if the petitioners are aggrieved by any such permit or licence, they have an alternate remedy by way of challenging that permit or licence before the Appellate Authority as provided under the Kerala Panchayat Raj Act. In the above circumstances, the writ petition is dismissed. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
