BETWEEN T.Naval Kumar and ors …Petitioners and Government of AP, Rep. by its Principal Secretary, Revenue, Secretariat, Hyderabad and ors. ….Respondents. HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA WRIT PETITION No. 265 OF 2011. ORDER: The challenge in this Writ Petition is to the order dated 10.01.2011 passed by the Tahsildar, Bandlaguda Mandal, Hyderabad, second respondent herein. The learned Counsel for the petitioners submits that the order impugned in this Writ Petition is wholly unreasonable and illegal inasmuch as the objections filed by the petitioners were not considered in accordance with law. The learned Counsel for the respondents submits that the order under challenge is appeable under Section 10 of the Land Encroachment Act, 1905 and hence the Writ Petition is not maintainable. After hearing the learned Counsel for the parties, it is clear that the order under challenge dated 10.01.2011 is appeable before the third respondent. As alternative remedy is available, this Writ Petition is not maintainable. The Writ Petition is, therefore, dismissed as not maintainable. However, the petitioner is granted two weeks’ time to file appeal, if so advised, before the third respondent, who shall consider and dispose of the same, in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible. The petitioner shall not be dispossessed from the subject land for a period of two weeks from to day. There shall be no order as to costs. -------------------------------------- JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA Dated 14th February, 2011. Note: CC in two days (BO) Msnro
