THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
15.01.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
 WP(C).No.1185 OF 2021(W)

                                     3


                                JUDGMENT

The petitioner, who was a Councillor

of Kunnamkulam Municipality, has filed this

writ petition seeking a direction to the

respondents 3 to 5 to consider his

representations against 8th respondent.

2. Admittedly, the petitioner is not a

Councillor as at present. The complaint in

Ext.P1 is relating to a member of Kudumbasree

Unit, in which there are only female members.

Though it is stated that petitioner was the

patron of the Kudumbasree Unit when he was a

Councilor, as at present petitioner ceased to

be a patron or Councillor and there would be

another patron.

3. Even Ext.P4 is seen given in his

capacity as former Councillor. In case there

are irregularities, it is for the appropriate

authorities to take action.

WP(C).No.1185 OF 2021(W)

No interference is required in this

matter at the instance of petitioner, when

Kudumbasree, is a Unit exclusively for women.

             Accordingly,        the    writ    petition    is

    dismissed.                                     Sd/-

                                                 P.V.ASHA
