Bombay High Court

BALU AKARAM VARNEversusTHE CEO OF NAGARPARISHAD ASHTA AND ORS.

Disposal: Disposed Off

Holding

The petition is dismissed as an alternate remedy is available to the petitioner.

Summary

Balu Akaram Varne filed a writ petition challenging the order that rejected his proposal for regularisation by the CEO of Nagarparishad Astha. The Court examined whether the petition could be entertained in view of the existence of an alternate statutory remedy to appeal the order. It observed that the petitioner has a specific avenue to appeal the rejection and therefore the writ petition is not the appropriate forum. Consequently, the Court declined to entertain the petition and directed the petitioner to pursue the alternate remedy. The petition was consequently disposed of.
