Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj and Rural Development. During the course of arguments, it is submitted by the learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj and Rural Development that an alternative efficacious remedy is provided against the impugned proceedings under Section 264 of the A.P. Panchayat Raj Act, 1994. Evidently, the petitioner, without availing alternative remedy, provided under the Act, has straight away approached this Court invoking the extraordinary jurisdiction of this Court under Section 226 of the Constitution of India. In that view of the matter, the writ petition is not maintainable and the same is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. It is however open to the petitioner to approach the appellate authority, if he is so advised. _______________________ (ELIPE DHARMA RAO, J) Date: 09.08.2005 Nsr
