No.6817 of 2010 (B)\n              ---------------------------------\n              Dated, this the 3rd day of March, 2010\n\n                            J U D G M E N T\n<\/pre>\n<p>      The petitioners&#8217; grievance is that the 4th respondent is making<\/p>\n<p>certain constructions without obtaining permit from the 2nd<\/p>\n<p>respondent Corporation.       If it is so, the remedy available to the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners is to move the Civil Court rather than adopting the<\/p>\n<p>indirect method of filing a complaint to the Corporation and filing a<\/p>\n<p>writ petition praying to direct that action be taken on the complaint.<\/p>\n<p>      It is seen that the petitioners have made an allegation of this<\/p>\n<p>nature in Ext.P2 complaint.        Ext.P2 complaint is filed only on<\/p>\n<p>27\/02\/2010, and this writ petition has been filed on 02\/03\/2010.<\/p>\n<p>The question of finding fault with the respondent for their inaction<\/p>\n<p>on the complaint can arise only if reasonable time has expired, after<\/p>\n<p>the receipt of the complaint. In this case, immediately after filing<\/p>\n<p>the complaint, the petitioner has rushed to this Court and has filed<\/p>\n<p>this writ petition. For this reason also, I am not inclined to issue any<\/p>\n<p>direction for the consideration of the representation either.<\/p>\n<p>      The writ petition fails and is accordingly dismissed.<\/p>\n<p>                                     (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE)<br \/>\njg<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court K.V.Joseph I.P.S vs State Of Kerala on 3 March, 2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM WP(C).No. 6817 of 2010(B) 1.
