The court dismissed the writ petition challenging the proposed alignment (Ext.P2) of NH-17 through Malappuram as premature since the alignment has not yet been finalised by the authorities.
Writ petition closed without prejudice to the right of petitioners to file a fresh petition when the alignment is finalised.
