JUDGMENT Petitioner challenges Ext.P5. Ext.P5 is an order passed by the Commissioner of Land Revenue on Ext.P4 appeal filed purporting to be under Rule 18 of the Assignment of Land within Municipal and Corporation Areas Rules, 1995. 2. I heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader. Learned Government Pleader points out that petitioner has a remedy by way of revision to the Government under Rule 18(6) of the Rules. 4. In the light of this, I am not inclined to entertain the challenge under Article 226 of the Constitution. Petitioner is relegated to pursue the remedy of revision before the Government.
