(2.) Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the order passed by the Sub-Divisional Officer (Revenue) is in teeth of the provisions contained in Section 170-B(3) of the Code.

The Board of Revenue has granted permission to review and the matter has been sent to the Additional Collector.

(3.) Learned State counsel and learned counsel for respondent No.6 would oppose the petition and the submissions of learned counsel for the petitioner.
