Petitioner has been given 48 hours of time to vacate the said extent of land. I am not inclined to consider the contentions of the petitioner on merits in as much as the petitioner has an efficacious alternate remedy under the Land Conservancy Act. In the result, the Writ Petition is disposed of permitting the petitioner to file an appeal challenging Ext.P7 notice. If an appeal is filed within three weeks, it shall be heard and disposed of by the appellate authority within three months thereafter. Status quo shall be maintained for a period of four weeks from today. In the meanwhile the petitioner may move the appellate authority for interim relief. The appellate authority shall pass orders on such application, without delay. (V. GIRI, JUDGE) ttb W.P.C.No. 32421 OF 2008 -:2:-
