This Court is of the opinion that this revision petition is not maintainable in law in view of the fact that appeal lies under Section 29 of the said Act to the Sessions Judge as against the impugned order. Section 29 of the Act reads as follows: “29. Appeal:- There shall lie an appeal to the Court of Session within thirty days from the date on which the order made by the Magistrate is served on the aggrieved person or the respondent, as the case may be, whichever is later.” Section 29 of the Act does not make any difference between final order and interim order. Therefore, appeal is maintainable against every order passed by the Magistrate, irrespective of the fact that it is an interim order or a final order. In the result, this revision petition is dismissed as not maintainable. The petitioner is at liberty to file appeal against the impugned order before the appropriate Court subject to the period of limitation. Meanwhile, interim order passed herein shall continue for one month from today. ____________________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDA RAJULU,J. Date:15.06.2010. GK.
