A petition is not maintainable when the subject matter is appealable and the related applications have already been dismissed.

JUDGMENT

This Writ Petition (C) is filed seeking the following reliefs:

" 1. Issue a writ of Certiorari or any other appropriate writ, order or direction quashing the demolition order dated 23/05/2022 (Exhibit–P7) and all consequential proceedings initiated by the respondents.

2. Issue a writ of Mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction directing the respondents to consider and pass orders on the petitioner’s application for regularisation dated 31/03/2021 (Exhibit–P2) within a time frame to be fixed by this Hon’ble Court, after affording the petitioner an opportunity of being heard.

3. Issue a writ of Prohibition restraining the respondents from taking any coercive steps, including demolition, pursuant to Exhibits P3, P6 and P7, pending consideration of the regularisation application."

[SIC]

2. The main prayer in this writ petition is against Ext.P7 order passed by the Corporation on 23.05.2022. It is an appealable order. The time to file an appeal has already over. In the light of the dictum laid down by this Court in Suresh K. v. Municipal Corporation of Kollam [ 2026 (1) KHC 406 ], this writ petition is not maintainable. At that stage, the counsel for the petitioner submitted that Ext.P2 regularization application is pending. This Court directed the Standing Counsel to get instructions as to whether Ext.P2 is still pending. The Standing Counsel submitted that Ext.P2 has already been dismissed. If that is the case, the prayers in this writ petition cannot be entertained.

Hence, this writ petition is dismissed.
