(2.) After transfer of the appeal, the decision rendered in the appeal by the SOC, Meerut on 4.7.2011 was challenged through revision filed by the petitioners/revisionists before the DDC, Gautam Budh Nagar. The DDC, Gautam Buddh Nagar dismissed the revision on the ground that the revision would be maintainable before the DDC of the district of which district's SOC has decided the appeal.

(3.) Learned counsel for the petitioners has placed reliance upon the judgments of this Court in the case of Ramdas Rai v. Deputy Director of Consolidation, Deoria and others,1994 RevDec 62; and Haider Ali v. State of U.P. and others, 2012 1 ADJ 522.
