1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE CIVIL JURISDICTION LETTERS PATENT APPEAL NO. 97 OF 2010 IN WRIT PETITION NO. 1925 OF 2007 Ashraf Abdulla ).. Appellant versus Union of India and another ).. Respondents Mr. P.J. Thorat for the Appellant. Ms.Rajni Iyer, Senior Advocate, with Mr.Minir Mody and Mr. Rajesh Talekar i/b M/s.K. Ashar & Co. for Respondent No.1. CORAM : ANIL R. DAVE, C.J. AND S.C. DHARMADHIKARI, J. DATED : 19TH APRIL 2010. P.C. Being aggrieved by an order dated 9th March 2010 passed in Writ Petition No.1925 of 2007, this Letters Patent Appeal has been filed by the original Petitioner. 2. The learned Single Judge had passed an order under Article 227 of the Constitution of India as the Petition was filed against an order passed by an Estate Officer under the provisions of the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorized Occupants) Act, 1971, which had been confirmed by the Appellate Authority. 3. In view of the above facts, we are of the view that the learned Single Judge had exercised the jurisdiction under Article 227 of the 2 Constitution of India and, therefore, this Appeal under Clause 15 of the Letters Patent would not be maintainable. Apart from that, we have gone through the relevant orders and, in our view, it would not be proper to re- appreciate the evidence which had been rightly appreciated by the learned Principal District Judge and his order has been confirmed by the learned Single Judge of this Court. 4. In the circumstances, we dismiss the Appeal. No order as to costs. 5. The learned Advocate appearing for the Appellant has made a request that the Appellant be not evicted immediately and some time be granted to the Appellant, who is in occupation of the premises in question. 6. In view of the fact that the Estate Officer had passed an order of eviction on 12th April 2003 and which had been confirmed by the learned Principal District Judge on 23rd February 2007, we do not think it proper to grant further protection to the Appellant. Therefore, the request of the learned Advocate for the Appellant is rejected. CHIEF JUSTICE S.C. DHARMADHIKARI, J.
