Sardessai with Mr. Palekar, learned Counsel for the petitioner, Mr. N. Sardessai, learned counsel for respondent no.1 and Mrs. Linhares, learned Additional Government Advocate for respondent nos.2 and 3. 2. This petition has been filed challenging the order passed by the Additional Director of Panchayat, Panaji refusing to condone the delay in preferring appeal against the order passed by respondent no.1 directing the petitioner to demolish certain constructions, which according to respondent no.1 are illegal. During the pendency of this petition, the Panchayat Raj Act, 1994 ('The Act' for short) has been amended and Section 201(B) has been introduced providing remedy of revision against the order passed by the Additional Director of Panchayat. In terms of the said Section, revision has to be preferred within a period of 30 days. This petition is pending in this Court since May, 2010. In view of the availability of the alternate remedy, which has come into effect during the pendency of the petition, I do not deem it appropriate to exercise extraordinary jurisdiction under Articles 226 and/or 227 of the Constitution of India. 3. Mr. G. Sardessai, learned Counsel for the petitioner seeks leave to withdraw the petition with liberty to approach the appropriate District Court under Section 201(B) of the Act. Mr. Sardessai further states that he will file revision application within a period of four weeks and delay in filing the revision application be condoned. Learned Counsel appearing for the respondents have no objection if delay in filing revision application is condoned. 4. In view of the above, the Writ Petition is allowed to be withdrawn with liberty to the petitioner to avail remedy of revision under Section 201(B) of the Act before the appropriate District Court. In the event the petitioner files the revision application within four weeks from today, the District Judge shall condone the delay and deal with the revision application in accordance with law. The writ petition stands disposed of accordingly. A. P. LAVANDE, J. SMA
