(2.) Looking to the facts and circumstances of the case, it appears that several grievances have been ventilated against the Revenue Officers, who are also deciding the revenue matters, under the Scheduled Area Regulation,1969.
(3.) It has been vehemently submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the reports of high ranking Revenue Officers are also on the record to the effect that there are few irregularities/illegalities, committed by the revenue officers, while deciding the SAR (Scheduled Area Regulation Officer) cases under the aforesaid Regulations and, hence, it is prayed by this petitioner that some strict actions may be initiated against those revenue officers.;
