1. The petitioner challenges the validity of Ext. A, an order of the Government of Travancore-Cochin dated 1.11.1956. As far as Para.2 of the said order is concerned it is agreed that as no action has been taken in pursuance of the said paragraph I need do no more than reserve the right of the petitioner to move this court afresh, if and when action is taken on the basis of the said paragraph.

2. Para.1 alone of Ext. A has hence to be considered. It reads as follows:

"In the G.P. Ls. 15-175/55/DD. dated 11.2.1955 (Ext. B) sanction was accorded to the Kottanad Panchayat to open and conduct a public market at Vellayil junction in Sy. No. 165/1 of Valiakunnamkara and in the G.P. Ls. 15-175/55/DD. dated 18.2.1955 (Ext. C) the above orders dated 11.2.1955 were stayed. Government have reviewed the question in all its aspects and are convinced that the site in Sy. No. 133/2 at Kumbalathanan junction, Kottanad Panchayat, is the suitable site for the public market. The orders contained in G.P. Ls. 15-175/55/DD. dated 11.2.1955 are hereby cancelled. Sanction is hereby accorded to the Kottanad Panchayat to open and conduct the public market in Sy. No. 133/2 of Kumbalathanan junction
