In the present writ petition, the order of Additional Collector was assailed on the ground that the Additional Collector was not authorized under Section 16 of the Bihar Tenants' Holdings (Maintenance of Records) Act, 1973 to exercise power of revision. This matter has already been set at rest by a Division

Since issue has already been set at rest, there is no reason to pass any favourable order.

The writ petition stands disposed of.
