However, the Petitioner instead of filing of the Revision Petition has directly approached this Court. Hence, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the order passed by the Appellate Authority. However, this Court deems it appropriate to grant liberty to the Petitioner to approach the Revisional Authority i.e. the Collector, Mayurbhanj along with all the required documents. 6. It is made clear that the Petitioner shall approach the Collector within a period of fifteen days from today and the Collector shall take up the issue as soon as the revision is filed. Until the matter is taken up by the Collector, no coercive action shall be taken against the Petitioner. 7. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. ( Dr. S.K.
