Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record. 5. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the fact that the petitioner's preliminary objection regarding the maintainability of the revision is already pending before the Commissioner, Surguja Division, Ambikapur, this Court is of the opinion that the said issue deserves to be adjudicated by the revisional authority before proceeding further in the matter. Accordingly, the petitioner is granted liberty to file an appropriate application for consideration of the pending preliminary objection. Upon such application being filed, the Commissioner, Surguja Division, Ambikapur shall decide the issue of maintainability as a preliminary issue, preferably on the next date of hearing and before proceeding with the revision on merits.
