IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM PRESENT : THE HONOURABLE MR.

BY ADV. SRI.V.PHILIP MATHEW RESPONDENTS: ------------------------- 1. ALAPPUZHA DISTRICT PANCHAYAT REPRESENTED BY ITS SECRETARY, ALAPPUZHA. 2. JILLA MANNU SAMRAKSHANA OFFICER, ALAPPUZHA. BY THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 29/05/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOM1NIC, J. ---------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.15926 OF 2008 ------------------------------------ Dated this the 29th day of May, 2008 J U D G M E N T ~~~~~~~~~~~ The challenge in this writ petition is against Exts.P2 and P5. Ext.P5 discloses a decision of the standing committee terminating the contract and on that basis, petitioner has been directed to appear before the Panchayat on 28.5.2008 to quantify the loss that has been sustained by the Panchayat. In my view, Ext.P5 discloses the decision of the Panchayat and therefore, it is for the petitioner to pursue the statutory remedy of appeal taking recourse under Section 275 of the Panchayat Raj Act. Leaving it open to the petitioner to pursue the appellate remedy, this writ petition is disposed of. 2. In order to enable the petitioner to pursue the remedy as above, I further direct if a decision has not been taken on Ext.P5, it shall not be implemented for a period of one month. 3. Petitioner complains that he has not so far been served a W.P.(C) No.15926/2008 -2- copy of the order dated 3.4.2008 referred to in Ext.P8. If that be so, on production of a copy of this judgment the 1st respondent shall serve a copy of the same to the petitioner. This writ petition is disposed of as above. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the 1st respondent for compliance. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) ps
