Shri Sonak, learned AGP for the respondent Nos.1 to 3. CORAM : R. M. SAVANT, J. DATED : 30/06/2011. The above petition filed under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India takes exception to the order dated 14/09/2009 passed by the respondent No.2 herein, by which order the Pherfar entries being Nos.980 and 981 dated 12/05/2008 in favour of the petitioner have been ordered to be cancelled. The principal submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the impugned order has the effect of reviewing order passed as long back as on 29/11/1997 by the Superintendent of Land Records i.e. the respondent No.2 herein. The learned counsel for the petitioner would therefore contend that the moot question that arises whether the review jurisdiction could have been exercised, after a period of almost 11 years. On behalf of the respondent, Ms. T. Khan, learned Assistant Government Pleader, submitted that against the impugned order the petitioner has an alternate efficacious wp1657.11.odt 2/2 remedy under Sec.247 of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966 before either the Director of Land Records or the Deputy Director of Land Records, who may have been authorized by the State Government. In my view, therefore, it would be appropriate to direct the petitioner to avail of the said remedy, wherein he can urge the contentions that he seeks to urge in the above petition. If the petitioner files proceeding under Sec.247 of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966, needless to say that they would be tried on their own merits and in accordance with law and the contentions urged by the petitioner, would be considered by the concerned authority. With the aforesaid observations, the writ petition is disposed of. Civil Application No.935/2011 does not survive, in view of the aforesaid order. JUDGE KHUNTE
