A.H. Joshi, J.1. At the outset, learned Advocate Mr. H.D. Dangre for respondent No. 1 has raised following objection as to maintainability of Writ Petition. The objection can be summarized as follows:The order, in question, is arising out of proceedings under Section 22 of the Bombay Public Trusts Act, which were finally decided, and an application under Section 70, which is in the shape of an appeal, is pending, wherein the prayer for stay has been rejected, which order is a decision capable of a further challenge under Section 72 of the Bombay Public Trusts Act. Therefore, due to availability of alternate remedy, present Writ Petition is not maintainable. 2.

Similarly, no distinction is made as interlocutory and final orders or decisions. In absence of such distinction, all orders will be capable of a challenge in the channel provided under t...
