JUDGMENT

The petitioner challenges Ext.P7 order passed by the Munsiff Court, Koyilandy, permitting the impleadment of the Grama Panchayat as an additional defendant and also permitting the plaintiff to amend the plaint.

2. The grievance of the petitioner/defendant is that the impleadment of the Grama Panchayat is not in compliance with Section 249 of the Panchayati Raj Act . The petitioner is also aggrieved by the nature of the amendment sought, namely, to pass an injunction restraining the Grama Panchayat from granting a building number to the building constructed by the petitioner/defendant. According to the petitioner, the building had already been constructed and number had been allotted by the Panchayat, consequent to Ext.P6 order of this Court. It is further contended that the suit itself is barred by the provisions of Section 563 of the Municipality Act .

3. Having considered the nature of the contentions and the reasons stated in the impugned order, I am of the view that there are no reasons to interfere with Ext.P7 order in exercise of the extraordinary jurisdiction conferred on this Court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. Whatever be the objections raised by
