It is provided that in case suit proceedings are initiated by the petitioner, same shall be considered and decided on the basis of evidence and material adduced during the said proceedings, in accordance with law. 10. Accordingly, since the petitioner has alternate statutory remedy under the provisions of U.P. Revenue Code, present writ petition is dismissed on the ground of alternate remedy. September 24, 2025 A.
