An order of eviction passed by the Estate Officer under the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act, 1971 is appealable before:

Section 9 of the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act, 1971 provides that an appeal lies from an order of the Estate Officer to the DISTRICT JUDGE within the prescribed period (thirty days from the date of the order, extendable). The appeal is a remedy in law, and the District Judge's decision is final, with civil-court jurisdiction ousted in respect of such evictions (Section 15). The summary procedure, including the show-cause notice and the appeal to the District Judge, balances expeditious eviction with basic fairness.
