Having regard to the fact that the Act itself provides for revision before the District Collector, I see no reason to entertain the writ petition. 3. However, taking note of the fact that the 30 days' time provided for filing the revision has expired, I direct that, if the petitioner files a revision within 15 days from today, the same will be entertained by the Revisional Authority, the District Collector, and orders will be passed on merits. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
