Learned State counsel submits that upon looking to the relief clause 10.1 and 10.2, it seems that the petitioner is aggrieved of the order passed by the Collector who rejected the claim of the petitioner for grant of patta. He submits that after passing of such an order, the petitioner ought to approach before the competent authority under revision or appeal under Revenue Book 3 Circular, however, the petitioner instead of availing himself of the said remedy, has directly filed this petition, which is not maintainable and liable to to dismissed on this count. 4. Considering the fact that the petitioner has alternate remedy available with him for his redressal of his grievance, the petitioner is relegated to file appropriate appeal/revision against the order impugned before the competent authority as available under the law. 5. With the aforesaid observation/direction, this Writ Petition is disposed of. Sd/- (Amitendra Kishore Prasad) Judge Avinash
