The petitioner is not entitled for any relief as prayed in the Writ Petition. The allegation of the petitioner that the 4'^ respondent th cancelled the patta of the petitioner and granted the same to the 7 respondent, the same can be challenged by way of statutory appeal before the 3'^'^ respondent.
