IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA WRIT PETITION NO. 270 OF 2011 MANUELITA D'COSTA AND 21 ORS., ... Petitioners Versus THE STATE OF GOA THROUGH ITS CHIEF SECRETARY AND ORS., ... Respondents Mr. Nigel Da Costa Frias, Advocate for the Petitioners. Mr. S.S. Kantak, Advocate General with Mr. A. Kamat, Additional Government Advocate for Respondents Nos.1,3,4,5,6 & 7. Coram:- S. C. DHARMADHIKARI & F. M. REIS, JJ. Date:- 4th May, 2011 P.C.: The learned advocate appearing for the Petitioners makes a statement in all fairness that as far as the order of the Deputy Collector on the application for grant of Conversion Sanad is concerned, the Petitioners would file an appeal under Section 188 of the Goa Land Revenue Code, 1968. 2. In the light of this statement made, the issue of Conversion Sanad and the grant need not be examined in this case. We permit the Petitioners to file the said appeal and raise all pleas including the grounds mentioned in this Writ Petition and we have no doubt in our mind that the Appellate Authority will duly consider the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. 3. The second issue is with regard to the construction of the retaining wall abutting the rivulet. It is stated that it is on the banks of the rivulet and the construction is going on in full swing. Learned Advocate General states that the complaint about this construction ought to have been made to the Goa Coastal Zone Management Authority, but the Petitioners have directly come to this Court complaining in writ jurisdiction. 4. In our view, the petition can be disposed of with a direction to the Goa Coastal Zone Management Authority to treat this Writ Petition as a complaint of the Petitioners against this construction and the said Authority to pass appropriate orders as expeditiously as possible and within a period of eight weeks from today. However, the Authority will also examine the grievance of the Petitioners that the construction work may be stopped or halted till such time as it is examining the grievance and passing requisite orders. If the request is made in that behalf by the Petitioners, the Authority shall treat it as a request to pass preventive orders and take necessary steps by issuing appropriate directions, if required, and such an exercise be completed within two weeks from today. 5. The petition is disposed of. All concerned parties to act on the authenticated copy of this order. S. C. DHARMADHIKARI, J. F. M. REIS, J. NH
