the learned Counsel for the Petitioners, it was kept back to take
instructions. He has taken the instructions. He now informs that the
concerned Appellate Authority i.e. the Chief Revenue Controlling
Authority, Pune, is now available. The Petitioners are, therefore, at
liberty to approach the said Authority which would decide the
Application of the Petitioners on its own merits as expeditiously as
possible and in accordance with the law. We have not opined on
