SRI.C.S.MANILAL SRI.KARJET KODUVATH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/03/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C. KURIAKOSE,J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C) No.36496 of 2007 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated: 6th March, 2008 JUDGMENT Counsel for the petitioner seeks time to amend the Writ Petition so as incorporate the grounds of challenge against the orders passed by the Panchayat subsequent to Exts.P8 and P8(a). But as rightly submitted by Mr.C.S.Manilal, Counsel for the Panchayat and the Government Pleader, Exts.P8 and P8(a) are only consequential orders passed pursuant to Ext.P5. Without challenging Ext.P5 order, the petitioner cannot challenge Exts.P8 and P8(a) and any other subsequent orders passed pursuant to Ext.P5. I dispose of the Writ Petition permitting the petitioner to challenge Ext.P5 which is appealable to the Tribunal for Local Self Government Institutions. The interim order dated 10.12.2007 subject to the clarification contained in that order will continue for a further period of six weeks. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE
