1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JODHPUR O R D E R Naresh Kumar & Anr. Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors. S.B.Civil Writ Petition No. 2392/2008 ......... Date of Order : 27/05/2008 P R E S E N T HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE H.R.PANWAR BY THE COURT Mr. Varun Goyal for the petitioners. Mr. N.M.Lodha, Additional Advocate General for respondent. The order impugned Annex.2 dated 30.12.2006 passed by District Collector (Stamp), Bikaner as also the order dated 17.12.2007 passed by Tax Board Annex.3 have been challenged by the instant writ petition. The order impugned passed by the District Collector is revisable under Section 65 of the Rajasthan Stamps Act. Though the petitioners filed a revision against the order impugned passed by the District Collector but without pre- requisite deposit and therefore, that revision was not competent and by order dated 17.12.2007 the revisional authority held that 2 the revision is incompetent and therefore, dismissed the same and as such the same has not yet been decided on merit and therefore, the statutory and efficacious alternative remedy of revision is yet available to the petitioners and the petitioners have filed the instant writ petition without exhausting that statutory and efficacious alternative remedy and therefore, the writ petition is not maintainable. The writ petition is therefore, dismissed. It is open for the petitioners now to challenge the order impugned passed by the District Collector by way of a fresh revision before the authority concerned with requisite pre- deposit. If such a revision petition is filed by the petitioners within two months from today, the authority concerned shall consider and decide the same within three months therefrom in accordance with law.
