                            J U D G M E N T

Challenge raised in the writ petition is against Ext.P3, a

decision taken by the 6th respondent Panchayat granting permission

to the party respondents to construct a road through property which

allegedly is a wet land.

2. In my view, if the petitioner is aggrieved by such a

decision, the remedy available to the petitioner is to approach the

appellate authority, which has not been done. Therefore, I decline

to entertain the writ petition bye-passing the statutory remedies.

This writ petition is, therefore, disposed of leaving it open to

the petitioner to seek appellate remedies against the impugned

order.

(ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE)
