W.P.No.23973 of 2022
For Petitioner : Mr.K.Venkatasubban
ORDER
Considering the limited prayer sought for in the Writ Petition, this Writ Petition is taken up for disposal at the admission stage with the consent of the learned counsel appearing for the parties.
2. The learned counsel would conted that the Original Authority had no jurisdiction to pass the order which has been confirmed in appeal by the Appellate Authority. The Appellate Authority dismissed the appeal filed by the petitioner for non-payment of 100% of the compensation awarded by the Original Authority, in view of the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Newtech Promoters and Developers Pvt., Ltd., Vs. State of Uttar Pradesh and others reported in 2021 SCC Online SC 1044. Mr.K.Venkatasubban, learned counsel apparing for the petitioner would vehemently contend that since the very order of the Original Authority is without jurisdiction, he can challenge it in the writ petition.
3. I do not think such a course is permissible. Once the order of 2/4 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis W.P.No.23973 of 2022 the Original Authority is confirmed by the Appellate Authority and the order of the Appellate Authority had become final, immaterial of the ground on which the appeal was dismissed, the petitioner cannot challenge the order of the Original Authority under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.
4. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed. It is open to the petitioner to move the Appellate Authority if he is so adviced.
