J U D G M E N T

------------------------- The petitioner impugns the revenue recovery proceedings based on M.A.C.T. award. The petitioner was directed to remit one lakh as a conditional order to stay the revenue recovery proceedings. It is an admitted fact that the petitioner has not paid any amount. The petitioner's remedy is to challenge the liability fastened on him by the award of M.A.C.T. He cannot challenge the revenue recovery proceedings. In that view of the matter, with a liberty to the petitioner challenge the award, this writ petition is disposed of.
