But as rightly submitted by the learned Government Pleader that the appeal lies not to the Government but to the Tribunal for Local Self Government Institutions. I relegate the petitioner to the remedy by way of appeal before the Tribunal for Local Self Government Institutions. If the Tribunal receives such an appeal from the petitioner within two weeks from today, the Tribunal will entertain the appeal and dispose of the same in accordance with law. Considering the above directions, the order of demolition is directed to be kept in abeyance by the Municipality for a period of one month from today.
