6. It is further seen from the impugned order of the Sub-
Collector under Annexure-2 that the Appellant (Petitioner) has
been granted liberty to approach the Revisional Authority under
Section 32 of the OSS Act. So, no merit is seen in favour of the
Petitioner to interfere with the impugned order.
7. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. However, it
is open for the Petitioner to proceed in accordance with law as per
the direction of the Appellate Authority.
