This writ petition is directed against the order dated 20.10.2006 (Annexure-4), passed by respondent no.2 in Mutation Revision Appeal No.32 of 2003-04 (Smt. Kusum Devi Vrs. Shri Parsidh Singh), whereby the revision application preferred by the present petitioner in terms of section 16 of the Bihar Tenant’s Holdings (Maintenance of Records) Act, 1973 (hereinafter referred to as the Act), has been rejected. It appears from a perusal of the materials on record that the parties are already contesting a civil suit wherein the present petitioner is a defendant. The writ petition is, therefore, disposed of to enable the petitioner to pursue the civil suit. It goes without saying that it will be open to the present petitioner to institute a civil suit of herself. It equally goes without saying that the orders of the revenue authorities shall be subject to adjudication by the civil court. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. Vinay/ ( S. K.
