The said appeal is dismissed on the ground that the previous appeal bearing No.24 of 2008 challenging the order passed by the District Deputy Registrar on 2-3-2007 has been dismissed. In 2 view of this undisputed factual position, it was open for the petitioner to have challenged the report dated 10-12-2007 under Section 88 in Appeal No.24 of 2008, which was dismissed on 30-1-2010. The said report having not been challenged, no fault can be found with the order dated 24-5-2010 passed in Appeal No.22 of 2010, the petitioner cannot be permitted to challenge the report dated 10-12-2007 once the certificate dated 25 -2-2008 issued on the basis of the said report has attained the finality. In view of this, the petition is dismissed. Judge pdl
