True copy tga K.Balakrishnan Nair & P.N.Ravindran, JJ. ======================== W.P(C).Nos.3193 & 3200 of 2007 ======================== Dated this the 18th day of January, 2008. JUDGMENT Balakrishnan Nair,J. These writ petitions are filed challenging an order passed by the Principal Munsiff, Cherthala under Section 14 of the Kerala Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act in exercise of the power of execution conferred on that court. Going by the proviso to Section 14 of the above Act, an order passed in execution can be challenged only by filing a revision against it. In view of the above position, the writ petitions filed under Article 227 of the Constitution are not maintainable. This view is supported by a Division Bench decision of this Court in Ayyappan Pillai v. Mohana Chandran Pillai - 2005(3) K.L.T. 492. In the result, these writ petitions are dismissed as not maintainable. K.Balakrishnan Nair, Judge. P.N.Ravindran, Judge. ess 21/1
