Having regard to the fact that appellate remedy is available to the petitioner against Ext.P8, I do not think it necessary for this Court to entertain the challenge against Exts.P8 or P9. 3. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of with the following directions: (1) That it will be open to the petitioner to seek the appellate remedy before the Revenue Divisional Officer by filing an appropriate appeal along with a petition for condonation of delay. (2) It is directed that if such an appeal is filed within two weeks from today, the Appellate Authority will consider the WPC No. 32403/10 :2 : condonation of delay and if the delay is condoned, shall entertain the appeal. (3) It is directed that subject to the filing of the appeal and the delay condonation petition as directed above, it is directed that the status quo as on date in so far as the possession of the crusher unit shall not be taken over. (4) However, it is clarified that this judgment will not enable the petitioner to operate the crusher unit. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
