Mr. Rahul Mishra, Advocate For State :

Mr. Ashutosh Mishra, PL Hon'ble Shri Justice P. Sam Koshy Order on Board 10/12/2019

1. The present writ petition has been filed seeking quashment of the order Annexure P-1 dated 20.11.2019 so far as the allotment made in favour of the respondent No.4 is concerned.

2. At the outset, this court is of the opinion that writ petition would not be maintainable as there is an alternative remedy available to the petitioner in terms of the guidelines framed by the State Government dated 05.06.2017 whereby Clause 8.1 clearly envisages that in the event if any person is aggrieved of any action on the part of the respondents the remedy lies by raising a dispute before the District Collector in the form of

a first appeal and the appeal has to be preferred within a period of 30 days.

3. Given the fact that State Government itself has created a mechanism for settlement of disputes and for redressal of grievance by providing a appellate form to the aggrieved person. The present writ petition at this juncture would not be maintainable.

4. Right of the petitioner stands reserved for approaching the concerned District Collector against the order under challenge in the present writ petition or any other action on the part of the respondents.

5. Needless to mention that petitioner would have the liberty to challenge the said order of the Collector in accordance with law afresh.

6. The writ petition thus stands dismissed as not maintainable with the aforesaid liberty.
