I do not think that there is any error of jurisdiction or impropriety in exercise of jurisdiction by the appellate authority in passing that order. Therefore, I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition challenging Ext.P9 order. However, I grant one more month's time to the petitioner to pay the amount as directed in Ext.P9 order. The writ petition is disposed of as above. Sd/- sdk+ S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE ///True copy/// P.A. to Judge 2
