CORAM : RAVINDRA V. GHUGE, J.

Dated: November 28, 2019 ...

PER COURT :- 1.

Considering the statutory provision under Section 35 of the Maharashtra Prevention of Fragmentation and Consolidation Act, the petitioners have a statutory remedy.

2.

I find that the Honourable Apex Court has recently taken a view in Virudhunagar Hindu Nadargal Dharma Paribalana Sabai Vs. Tuticorin Educational Society [(2019) SCC ONLINE SC 1292], that the existence of a statutory remedy is "Near Total Bar" for exercising supervisory jurisdiction by the High Court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. In yet another order, delivered on 22.11.2019 by the Honourable Apex Court, in the matter of Genpact India Private akl/d

IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY

BENCH AT AURANGABAD 2-WRIT PETITION NO.14282 OF 2019 Limited Vs. Deputy Commissioner of Income Tax - Civil Appeal No.8945 of 2019, decided on 22.11.2019, it has been held that even an admitted petition will have to be dismissed in the wake of a statutory remedy available.

3.

The learned Advocate for the petitioners submit that they would avail the statutory remedy within six weeks from today and the time spent in this Court be excused in the event of any delay. 4.

In view of the above, all these petitions are disposed off, with liberty to the petitioners to avail of the statutory remedy. The time spent by the petitioners in this Court from 13.8.2019 until six weeks from today, would be a good ground for condonation of delay. All contentions of the litigating sides are kept open.
