THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 04/03/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 6953 OF 2010 (T) ===================== Dated this the 4th day of March, 2010 J U D G M E N T Ext.P3 is an order passed by the 1st respondent exercising his powers under Section 406(3) of the Kerala Municipalities Act. Aggrieved by Ext.P3, petitioner submits that he has filed Ext.P4 appeal before the 2nd respondent. His apprehension is that during the pendency of the appeal, 1st respondent will implement Ext.P3. 2. If as stated by the petitioner, Ext.P4 appeal has been filed, it is necessary that the appellate authority should dispose of the appeal. Since the statutory appeal is pending, it is premature to implement Ext.P3 order. 3. In view of this, I dispose of this writ petition directing the 2nd respondent to consider Ext.P4 appeal filed by the petitioner against Ext.P3. This shall be done, with notice to the petitioner and as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 4 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. In the meanwhile, it is directed that further proceedings pursuant to Ext.P3 shall be kept in abeyance. WPC No. 6953/10 :2 : Petitioner shall forthwith produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition before the 2nd respondent for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
