When the matter came up for admission, the learned Government Pleader submits that against the impugned proceedings, dated 23-04-2005, an effective alternative remedy of revision before the Joint Collector is provided under Section 9 of the Act. In view of the same, it is evident that the petitioner approached this Court without availing such an alternative remedy of revision provided under the Statute. In the circumstances, I do not see any merit in the writ petition and the same is not maintainable. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. The petitioner is at liberty to prefer a revision before the Joint Collector as provided under the Act, if he so chooses. No costs. _____________________ (ELIPE DHARMA RAO) Date: 15-07-2005 ghn To 1.
