Learned Standing Counsel points out that no properties are scheduled to Exts.P2 and P2(a) and the notices as such are addressed only to the defaulter who is not made a party to the writ petition. Petitioner has brought his grievance to the notice of the District Collector, who is competent to regulate the action under the Revenue Recovery Act. 2. In my view, the only direction that is required at this stage is one to the District Collector to look into Ext.P3, hear the petitioner as also the representative of the second respondent and take a decision thereon.
