1 The grievance of the Petitioner is that though a Revision Application was filed by the Petitioner before the Hon'ble Minister of Revenue of the Government of Maharashtra on 27^th August, 2015, even the prayer for interim relief made therein is not considered. Revision Application has been purportedly preferred under Section 257 of the Maharashtra Land Revenue Code. 1966. The AGP has no instructions about the status of the Revision Application.
