Complaint has been enquired and it is at the evidence stage - Though reliance has been made on Section 157(2) of the Kerala Goods and Services Act, 2017 for a declaration that Ext.P1 complaint is not maintainable. We are not inclined to grant the third relief as Lok Ayukta has already taken cognizance of the complaint and it is at the evidence stage. For the above said reasons, complaint also cannot be quashed. Writ of certiorari also cannot be granted as prayed for. The only relief that remains to be considered is whether direction can be issued to Kerala Lok Ayukta, Thiruvananthapuram/respondent No.1 to dispose of Ext.P1 complaint expeditiously - Judicial notice can be taken that there are several complaints pending before the Kerala Lok Ayukta, Thiruvananthapuram. The present complaint filed in January, 2018 and numbered as 440 of 2018. Petition dismissed.
