It would, therefore, be open to the legal representatives of the appellants to proceed further as was ordered by Agricultural Lands Tribunal and Mamlatdar in his order dated 16.4.1964, which was upheld by the Assistant Collector, Alpath Prant, Surat on appeal to him and by the Gujarat Revenue Tribunal on revision being preferred to it.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.
