Counsel for the Petitioners: MR.V.VENKATA KUMAR Counsel for the Respondents 1 to 4: GP FOR REVENUE The Court made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed by the petitioners, who are the respondents before the lower authority, which passed the order in Proceedings No.A/1121 of 2003, dated 11.06.2004, which is stated to have been passed when a de novo enquiry was ordered by the appellate authority. 2. The grievance of the petitioners is that instead of conducting de novo enquiry as ordered by the appellate authority, the fourth respondent passed the order by conducting enquiry with a different subject matter. Therefore, the impugned order is liable to be quashed. However, the learned counsel appearing for the 13th respondent stated that there is an effective alternative remedy of appeal before the authorities, therefore, the present writ petition is not maintainable. 3. Under the above circumstances, this Court declines to entertain this writ petition and accordingly dismissed the same, directing the petitioners to approach the appellate authority, within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. ____________________ S.ANANDA REDDY,J Dated: 6th July, 2004 Lsk/Vgb.
