order dated 22.05.2023 of the Appellate Authority. The Petitioner herein filed revision before the Appellate Authority and also assailed the

same proceedings before this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.
5. The petitioner cannot avail two parallel proceedings simultaneously in respect of same cause of action, invoking revision under Section 9 of the Act and Writ Petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India on same set of facts, against the same order, having availed statutory remedy.
