Hence, the prays that this petition may be admitted for hearing. 3. In reply, learned counsel for the State would submit that if the petitioner has aggrieved by the impugned order dated 01.12.2025, then he may challenge the same by filing appeal under Section 13 of the Act,2011 instead thereof, the petitioner has directly filed instant writ petition before this Court, hence, the same is not maintainable on account of alternative efficacious remedy available to the petitioner. 4. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record. 5. Having considered the issue involved in the instant writ petition and contention putforth by State counsel, since there is efficacious alternative remedy is available to the petitioner to challenge the impugned order under the provisions of Chhattisgarh Rent Control Act, 2011, therefore, this Court is not inclined to entertain the instant petitioner invoking extraordinary jurisdiction of this Court, hence, this petition is dismissed at the motion stage itself. 6.
