SANJAY KUMAR SINGH Vs. STATE OF JHARKHAND

Decided On March 04, 2011
SANJAY KUMAR SINGH Appellant
V/S
STATE OF JHARKHAND Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) AT the outset, Mr. Prashant Kr. Singh, learned counsel appearing for the R.R.D.A., submitted that the petitioner has got alternative remedy of appeal under section 54(2) of the Regional Development Authority Act.

(2.) MR. Bhanu Kumar, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, disputed this submission and submitted that only the person against whom an order is passed for demolition, can file appeal under the said provision and not the petitioner who is claiming violation of the sanctioned map by R.R.D.A. by private respondent. He further submitted that the R.R.D.A. authority themselves are at fault. He also referred to the letter dated 7.8.2010 issued by the R.R.D.A. to the Secretary, Urban Development Department, Govt. of Jharkhand saying that the contravention is apparent.

(3.) IN my opinion, as the petitioner has got alternative remedy of appeal before the Tribunal which can examine the facts and all the points raised by the petitioner, I am not inclined to interfere in this writ petition.
