1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.1593 OF 2010 Gajanan Babu Padyar ...Petitioner v/s The State of Maharashtra and others ...Respondents Mr Rakesh Bhatkar for Petitioner. Mr S.R. Nargolkar, AGP for Respondents. CORAM : D.K. DESHMUKH AND A.R. JOSHI JJ. DATE : 9TH MARCH 2010. 2 P.C. :- 1] The petitioner makes a grievance against the order of the Standing Committee of the Zilla Parishad, Ratnagiri and the order of the State Government. According to the petitioner, he applied for permission to raise construction to the Village Panchayat. As the Village Panchayat did not reject his application, permission is deemed to have been granted to him and therefore, he completed the construction. The Village Panchayat gave him notice claiming that his construction was unauthorised and asking him to demolish the construction. Against this order, he filed an appeal before the Standing Committee. Perusal of section 52 of the Bombay Village Panchayat Act 1958 shows that an appeal lies to the Standing Committee of Zilla Parishad only against an order passed by the Village Panchayat refusing to grant permission or granting permission subject to conditions which are not acceptable to the applicant. Obviously therefore, the appeal was not maintainable before the Standing Committee and 3 therefore no revision could have been filed before the State Government under section 155 of the said Act. In our opinion, therefore, if according to the petitioner, he has raised the construction on the basis of deemed permission and the Village Panchayat was wrongly asking him to pull down the construction, the petitioner should have adopted appropriate remedy. There is no substance in this petition. Petition is rejected. Parties to act on the copy of this order duly authenticated by the Sheristedar / Private Secretary of this Court. Certified copy expedited. ( JUSTICE D.K. DESHMUKH ) ( JUSTICE A.R. JOSHI )
