By this petition, the petitioner has challenged the order passed by the Sub-Divisional Officer under the provisions of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code, 1966.

2.

The learned Additional Government Pleader points out that against this order, the petitioner has a remedy of appeal. The fact that remedy of appeal is available is not disputed. The petitioner seeks to contend that there has been a breach of principles of natural justice.

The Revenue Officers are entrusted with the task of resolving the disputes that arise under the provisions of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code.
