Against an eviction order passed by the ESTATE OFFICER under the Public Premises (Eviction of Unauthorised Occupants) Act, 1971, the appeal lies to the District Judge within the period prescribed, which is:

Section 9 of the Public Premises (Eviction) Act, 1971 provides that an appeal against an order of the ESTATE OFFICER shall lie to the DISTRICT JUDGE within THIRTY DAYS from the date of the order (with the power to condone delay on sufficient cause). The Act's ouster of civil-court jurisdiction (Section 15) is balanced by this statutory appeal to the District Judge. The thirty-day appeal window is a defining procedural numeric of the eviction regime. The summary eviction machinery therefore still affords the occupant an accessible appellate remedy.
