BY GOVT.PLEADER SMT.K.R.DEEPA SRI.M.K.CHANDRAMOHANDAS, SC FOR R4 THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 04/09/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C) No. 26787 OF 2008 L = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 4th day of September 2008 J U D G M E N T The grievance of the petitioner appears to be that a licence has been granted by the 1st respondent Panchayat to respondents 6 and 7 for a poultry farm. In my view, if that be the grievance it is for the petitioner to pursue the statutory remedy in terms of the Panchayat Raj Act. I see no justification for the petitioner to invoke the extraordinary jurisdiction of this Court when statute itself provides for an adequate remedy. Writ petition is therefore dismissed.
