HIGH COURT OF RAJASTHAN (JODHPUR BENCH)
MR. JUSTICE VINIT KUMAR MATHUR, J
MADANLAL MEGHWAL – Appellant
Versus
THE STATE OF RAJASTHAN – Respondent
Order :
1. Heard learned counsel for the parties.
2. The present writ petition has been filed against the order dated 08.11.2024, whereby, the application preferred under Section 251 of the Rajasthan Tenancy Act has been allowed.

4. Per contra, learned counsel for the respondent submits that the order dated 08.11.2024 is an appeable order and as the appeal lies against this order before the Revenue Appellate Authority, therefore, the writ petition may be dismissed on the ground of alternative remedy.
5. I have considered the submissions made at the Bar and gone through the relevant record of the case.
