approached this court complaining inaction on the part of the respondent authorities. Inasmuch as the necessary procedure as contemplated under the Act is not followed, petitioner is given liberty to approach the revenue officials seeking information and after obtaining information with respect to the proceedings under which the revenue officials have been made, he shall exercise his right in terms of the Act.

5. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel, the miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
