J U D G M E N T The writ petition is filed mainly with the following prayer :- “To call for the records which lead to the issuance of Ext.P3 and P4 and to issue a writ of certiorari or any other appropriate writ, order or direction quashing the same to the extent it takes in 59 cents of landed properties which forms part of the temple site which is exempted under the Kerala Land Reforms Act.” Learned counsel for the party respondents submits that the petitioner had instituted a suit, O.S.1874/2000 before the District Court, Ernakulam at the time the writ petition was filed. That is suppressed in the writ petition. Therefore, the writ petition is dismissed without prejudice to the liberty to the petitioner to pursue the suit, or the remedies, if any available under the Kerala Land Reforms Act.
