The petitioner would contended that the RDO has no power to pass Ext.P3 order under the Act in so far as the power is specifically vested with the District Collector.

In order to enable the petitioner to file a revision and move for interim orders therein, I direct that, further proceedings pursuant to the impugned order be kept in abeyance for a period of one month. The Government shall also exclude the period during which this writ petition was W.P.(C).
