KURIAKOSE, J. ----------------------------------------------- W.P.(C)No. 31428 OF 2007 ----------------------------------------------- DATED THIS THE 8TH JANUARY, 2008 J U D G M E N T Even though the serious question as to whether the Tribunal for Local Self Government Institutions was justified in insisting that the entire amount demanded by the Municipality should be paid by the petitioner as a precondition for entertaining its revision petition does arise in this writ petition, on the circumstances which attend on this case, I am not inclined to decide that question. I direct the petitioner hospital to remit a sum of Rs.5,00,000/- (Rupees five lakhs) with the Municipality within two weeks from today. If the Tribunal noticed receipt against remittance of rupees five lakhs by the petitioner within two weeks from today, the Tribunal will entertain R.P.No.7/2007 and dispose of the same in accordance with law after hearing both sides notwithstanding Ext.P9. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE) ks. WP(C)N0. -2- WP(C)N0. -3-
