IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA WRIT PETITION NO. 612 OF 2009 THE CALANGUTE UNITED SOCIAL AND CULTURAL ASSOCIATION THROUGH ANTHONY F. D'SOUZA ... Petitioner Versus STATE OF GOA THROUGH CHIEF SECRETARY AND 8 ORS., ... Respondents Mr. Rohit Bras De Sa, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. A. Kamat, Addl. Govt. Advocate for respondents No.1 to 3 & 5 to 7. Coram:- SWATANTER KUMAR, C.J. & N. A. BRITTO, J. Date:- 3rd November, 2009 P.C. Learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that once a stop work notice was issued under Section 66 of the Goa Panchayat Raj Act, 1994, the Director loses the jurisdiction and the Block Development Officer ceases to exercise any jurisdiction and thus, the order dated 20.8.2009 is vitiated in law. 2. We are not commenting on the merits of this contention, as any order or even a notice issued by the Block Development Officer under Section 66 of the Act is appealable under Section 66(7) of the Act. Since there is statutory alternate remedy available, we dispose of this petition, with liberty to the petitioner to take recourse to the remedy, in accordance with law. No order as to costs.
