Arya, learned Brief Holder for the respondents. Date:- November 19, 2009 Hon’ble B.S. Verma J. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has sought a writ in the nature of certiorari for quashing the order dated 30-09-2009 passed by the Settlement Officer Consolidation Roorkee, Haridwar (Annexure No.6) whereby a direction was given for measurement of the Chaks of Tikola Kalan Village Jathedi, Pargana Manglore, Tehsil Roorkee, District Haridwar on the basis of some complaint. I have perused the order of the Settlement Officer Consolidation. The order passed by the Settlement Officer Consolidation is that the exchange of possession be made in accordance with law after measurement. According to the petitioner, this order has been passed in absence of the petitioner, the measurement was made and possession had been handed over on 09-04-2009. If the petitioner feels aggrieved by this order he may also approach to the Settlement Officer Consolidation 2 or may file the application for recalling this Misc. order and he may file the revision before the Deputy Director of Consolidation to assail the order impugned. Section 48 of the U.P. Consolidation of Holdings Act, 1953 provides that Deputy Director of Consolidation may call for examine the record of any case decided or proceedings taken by any subordinate authority. Since, the alternate statutory remedy is available to the petitioner. I am not inclined to entertain the writ petition. The writ petition is devoid of merits and is liable to be dismissed. The writ petition is dismissed. The certified copy of the order be supplied to the learned counsel for the petitioner by tomorrow on payment of usual charges. (B.S. Verma, J.) 19.11.2009 MK
