Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W. P (C) No. 17345 of 2008 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 14th July, 2008. J U D G M E N T The petitioner challenges Ext. P5 order passed by the 1st respondent, whereby the proceedings under the Kerala Land Utilisation Order against the 3rd respondent has been dropped for the reasons mentioned therein. According to the petitioner, Ext. P5 order is patently unsustainable in so far as the petitioner has been found fault with in the mistake committed by the 1st respondent himself. Whatever that be, I am of opinion that the petitioner's remedy lies in filing appeal against Ext. P5 order before the appellate authority as provided in the Kerala Land Utilisation Order itself. Therefore, without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to challenge Ext. P5 in a properly constituted appeal before the appellate authority under the Kerala Land Utilisation Order, this writ petition is dismissed. While calculating the period of limitation in filing the appeal, the period of pendency of this writ petition, i.e from 10-6-2008 till today shall be excluded. Sd/- Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/
