THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION No. 30641 OF 2011 O R D E R: Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Transport appearing for respondent. 2. Petitioner’s driving licence was suspended after he was given show cause notice and opportunity to file explanation. Against the said order of suspension, dated 25.10.2011, petitioner has approached this Court by this Writ Petition, contending that he has no efficacious alternative remedy. 3. Section 19 (3) of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, however, provides effective alternative remedy to any person who is aggrieved by the order, made by the licensing authority under sub-Section (1). Hence, declining discretion to entertain this Writ Petition, petitioner is permitted to approach the appellate authority and if such appeal is filed within a week from today, the appellate authority shall entertain the same and pass appropriate orders thereon expeditiously. 4. The writ petition is, therefore, disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________________ VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J 21st November 2011 Tsy
