The facts of the present case are that a pond comprised in Survey No.179 admeasuring area 0.86 hectare situated at Village Ranigaon, Patwari Circle No.95 Tehsil Nagri, District Dhamtari (C.G.) was recorded in the name of Itwari, grandfather of the present petitioner. An application was moved by the Gram Panchayat to handover the aforesaid pond to the Gram Panchayat for Nistar. The Tehsildar registered a revenue case and passed an order in favour of the Gram Panchayat. It is stated that the Tehsildar passed an order without affording any opportunity of hearing to the petitioner. The petitioner has challenged the decision taken by the revenue authorities. 3. Mr. Tiwari, the learned Panel Lawyer appearing for the State/respondents would submit that the order, if any passed by the Tehsildar is appealable before the Sub Divisional Officer and therefore, the present petition is not maintainable. 4. Heard Mr. Tiwari, the learned Panel Lawyer appearing for the State/respondents and perused the documents placed on the record. 5. Taking into consideration the fact that the petitioner may raise all available grounds by filing an appeal before the appropriate authority according to the provisions of the Land Revenue Code, 1959, in the opinion of this Court, no case is made out for interference. Consequently, the present petition fails and is hereby dismissed at the admission stage. Sd/- (Rakesh Mohan Pandey) Judge Rekha
