Public Premises Act, Section 9 | Writ Petition Maintainable Only in Emergent Eviction Threats : Bombay HC (Aurangabad Bench)
Bombay HC rules that writ jurisdiction under Article 226 is barred when an efficacious alternate remedy (appeal to District Judge under Section 9 of the Public Premises Act) exists, unless imminent execution threatens possession. The court granted limited protection to petitioners to approach the District Judge within 15 days, emphasizing exhaustion of statutory remedies before invoking writ jurisdiction.
