THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 12/02/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.4448 OF 2009 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 12th day of February, 2009 JUDGMENT The petitioners challenge Ext.P12 order of the Tribunal for Local Self Government Institutions. From Ext.P12 order, I find that the Tribunal had not considered the contentions of the parties on merits, but only remanded the matter to the Municipality setting aside the order of the Municipality on the ground that the procedure prescribed under law has not been complied with by the Municipality in passing the order impugned before the Tribunal and directing the Secretary of the Municipality to re-consider the matter. I am not inclined to interfere with the order, in so far as there is no decision on merits in the same. As such, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondent to comply with the directions in Ext.P12 order within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
