THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.26087 of 2011 ORDER: Against an order passed under Section 6 of the Andhra Pradesh Land Encroachment Act, 1905 (for short ‘the Act’), the petitioner has invoked the jurisdiction of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Against the impugned order, an appeal lies under Section 10 of the Act. Since the petitioners have an effective alternative remedy of appeal under the Act, I see no reason to exercise discretion and entertain this Writ Petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Leaving it open to the petitioners to avail the remedy of appeal under the Act, the Writ Petition is dismissed. However, in the circumstances, without costs. RAMESH RANGANATHAN,J Date:19.09.2011 usd
