V.GIRI, J ------------------- W.P.(C).26491/2009 -------------------- Dated this the 22nd day of September, 2009 JUDGMENT Petitioner a Panchayat Secretary has been placed under suspension as per Ext.P1 order on account of an alleged failure on her part to take appropriate steps in relation to an alleged unauthorised construction of a multi storied building and the steps which she had taken to assign number to the building without apparently verifying whether the construction has been effected in accordance with the Kerala Municipal Building Rules. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that construction in question had been commenced before the enforcement of KMBR to the Panchayat in question.
