It is not in dispute that against the impugned order, a further remedy, by way of an appeal lies to DIG CISF (SZ) Headquarters, 'D' Block, Rajaji Bhawan, Besant Nagar, Chennai-90, is available. For the reasons best known to the petitioner, it is not clear, instead of resorting to such recourse, the petitioner has filed the writ petition. 4. In view of the factual conclusion arrived at by the disciplinary authority based on the report of the Enquiry Officer, we are of the view that the same cannot be interfered by this Court. However, the said order can be challenged before the appellate authority. It is also brought to our notice that thereafter, one more opportunity is available, namely, by way of revision. In those circumstances, we inclined to give an opportunity to the petitioner to avail the same. Normally, at the time of final hearing of the writ petition, this Court won't direct the petitioner to avail the alternative remedy; however, in view of the factual conclusion arrived at by the disciplinary authority, we are of the view that the petitioner may be given an opportunity to putforth his grievance before the appellate and revisional authority. 5. On this ground, the writ petition is dismissed with a liberty to the petitioner to file an appeal to the above mentioned appellate authority. It is made clear that the entire time taken by the petitioner in prosecuting the above writ petition before this Court shall be excluded for the purpose of limitation. No costs. Consequently, connected WPMP.is closed. gl Sd/ Asst.Registrar /true copy/ Sub Asst.Registrar To 1. The Commandant, Union of India, CISF XI Res.Bn.
