Further, he has drawn the attention of this Court towards Clause 460 of the Uttar Pradesh Revenue Court Manual that deals with the execution of the order passed under Section 67 of the Uttar Pradesh Revenue Code, 2006. Clause 460 of the Uttar Pradesh Revenue Court Manual reads as under: "460. Execution of decree and order-(1) The decree or order passed under the Code or the Rules framed under Versus Counsel for Petitioner(s) : Yogeshwar Sharan Srivastava Counsel for Respondent(s) : C.S.C., Pankaj Gupta Smt.

In view of the aforesaid, this court is not inclined to entertain the present petition for want of availability of statutory remedy as provided under Clause 460 of the U.P. Revenue Court Manual. 5. Accordingly, this petition is consigned to the records. Needless to say that it is open for the petitioner to approach the authority concerned in accordance with Clause 460 of U.P. Revenue Court Manual for the redressal of her grievance. November 4, 2025 Arun WPIL No. 1092 of 2025 2 (Syed Qamar Hasan Rizvi,J.)
