V.K.TAHILRAMANI & N. A. BRITTO, JJ. Date : 14th December, 2009. P.C.:- Heard Shri Rohit Bras De Sa, learned Counsel on behalf of the Petitioner. Earlier notices were ordered to be issued, but for the view we are taking, we need not wait for the return of the notices. This is yet another Writ Petition filed by the Petitioner. Writ Petition No.276 of 2009 was disposed off by this Court by Judgment dated 28-4-2009. That was as regards an alleged illegal construction carried out by Respondent Nos.7 and 8. The said Respondent Nos.7 and 8 are stated to have filed an appeal before the Director of Panchayats against the decision of the 2 Village Panchayat, and the Director has been pleased to remand the case of the said Respondents to the said Village Panchayat. Thereafter, it is the Petitioner who has received a show cause notice as regards an alleged illegal construction and against that the present petition has been filed. The Petitioner has an adequate and efficacious remedy by way of an appeal before the Director of Panchayats, and in the light of that, we are not inclined to entertain this petition. Learned Counsel on behalf of the Petitioner submits that the appeal before the Director of Panchayats will be filed within a period of one week. However, he submits that the appeal to be filed may be time barred. Considering the above, we direct the present petition be sent to the Director of Panchayats to be treated as an appeal filed against the decision of the Village Panchayat and be disposed off in accordance with law. Miscellaneous Civil Application No.898 of 2009 is disposed off. SMT. V.K.TAHILRAMANI, J. N. A. BRITTO, J. RD
