You may again challenge the orders of collector before the High Court.
In the alternative you may move to SC.
If i have to move to SC what will be the expenses.do the court function during summer holidays?

1) it is better you move HC only . your earlier writ petition was filed in HC wherein orders were passed directing collector to give a reasoned order
2) filing WP in SC would be far more expensive proposition .
Thanks Ajay sethi.would like to know about the expenses in SC.i have a filed a writ in high court already.case pending due to summer holidays. thanks again.

if your writ is pending in HC how can you move Sc now ? it is only when HC dismisses your writ that you can move SC .
Moving to SC will be costly in terms of lawyers legal fee. So it is suggested you move to HC whereby HC will finally decide whether the order of collector is lawful or not.
If the case is already pending in HC then there is no way you can move to SC. Wait for the HC to pass its order. If the outcome is not in your favour then you may challenge it in SC.
