MANOJ KUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/02/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No.4007 OF 2009 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 6th day of February, 2009 JUDGMENT The petitioner challenges an order, whereby the petitioner's application for a building permit has been rejected. According to the petitioner, the petitioner had earlier approached this Court and this is the third round and therefore, this Court should entertain this writ petition, despite availability of right to file appeal against that order. I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition in so far as the petitioner has an effective alternate remedy by way of appeal against the impugned order. The fact that the petitioner earlier approached this Court is not a reason sufficient to by-pass the alternate remedy. Therefore, without prejudice to the right of appeal, this writ petition is dismissed. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
