J U D G M E N T The petitioner is challenging Ext.P9 order of the District Collector whereby in an appeal filed by the petitioner in respect of some other property challenging the patta issued to the 4th respondent, the patta issued to the petitioner also was cancelled. 2. I am of opinion that in so far as, the Kerala Land Assignment Rules provides for a revision before the Commissioner of Land Revenue against Ext.P9, the petitioner has to first avail of that remedy. Therefore, without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to file a revision before the Commissioner of Land Revenue as provided in the Kerala Land Assignment Rules, this writ petition is disposed of.
