Even according to the petitioner, he was one of the parties to these proceedings. The petitioner has an alternative and efficacious remedy of filing a revision, if he is aggrieved by the order impugned in this writ petition. We fail to understand why the petitioner has come to this Court in the garb of PIL. Petition is utterly misconceived.
