The petitioner preferred a revision to the 1st respondent under Section.4-B of the Act on 08-08-2005.

In the facts and circumstances of the case, the writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission after hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Revenue (Assignment), directing the 1st respondent to expeditiously and in any event within a period of three (3) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, dispose of the revision preferred by the petitioner under Sec.4-B of the Act.
