Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Advocate, who has accepted notice on behalf of the respondents.

2. The petitioner is a partnership firm and they filed this writ petition to direct the first respondent to hear and dispose of the statutory revision filed before the first respondent. The revision petition has been filed as against the grant of joint patta and the revision petition appears to have been entertained by the first respondent in Ref. No.7221/2013/N3.

3. Since the revision petition is a statutory revision and the petitioner has also filed an application for interim stay, the revisional authority should entertain the revision petition, fix a date of hearing, issue notice to the petitioner as well as the respondent in the revision petition and hear the parties in person and pass a reasoned order on merits and in accordance with law taking into consideration the fact that the revision petition has already been presented and taken on file. The revisional authority shall dispose of the revision within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

4. The writ petition is disposed of with the above direction. No costs.
