THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.24262 of 2010 Date:29.09.2010 Between: Kalla Appala Naidu ..... Petitioner AND Pilla Pothuraju and others. .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Sri K. Subrahmanya Reddy for Sri S. Khadermohiddin Counsel for Respondent Nos.1 to 4: -- Counsel for Respondent No.5: Assistant Government Pleader for Revenue Counsel for Respondent No.6: Smt. V. Preethi Reddy, Standing Counsel for VUDA The Court made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed principally questioning the order dated 15.06.2010 passed in AIP No.38 of 2009 of the Primary Tribunal-cum- Special Deputy Tahsildar (Inams), Visakhapatnam, respondent No.5 herein. At the hearing, Sri K. Subrahmanya Redy, learned senior counsel representing the petitioner fairly submitted that his client has alternative remedy of appeal available to the Revenue Divisional Officer, Visakhapatnam under the Provisions of the Andhra Pradesh (Andhra Area) Inams (Abolition and Conversion into Ryotwari) Act, 1956. In my opinion, as the said remedy is an effective alternative remedy, the petitioner needs to first exhaust the same before invoking the discretionary jurisdiction of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The learned senior counsel submitted that as the limitation for filing of the appeal has expired, his client may be permitted to file appeal before the appellate authority within a reasonable time. I find this request of the learned senior counsel reasonable. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of without going into the merits of the case with liberty to the petitioner to file appeal. If the petitioner files the appeal within a period of four weeks from today, the appellate authority shall entertain and dispose of the same in accordance with law. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 29th September, 2010 Note: Issue C.C. in one week.
