I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition on merits, in view of the fact that the petitioner has an effective alternate remedy by way of a revision before the Government against Ext.P9 order under Section 28 of the Act. Therefore, without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to challenge Ext.P9 in a properly constituted appeal this writ petition is dismissed. However, for the purpose of limitation, the period during which this writ petition was pending before this Court shall be excluded. Sd/- sdk+ S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE ///True copy/// P.A. to Judge
