Since the petitioner has an effective alternate remedy by way of appeal as provided under the Rules themselves, I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition at this stage. Accordingly, without prejudice to the rights of the petitioner to challenge Ext.P4 in appeal as provided under the Rules, this writ petition is dismissed. To enable the petitioner to approach the appellate authority, further proceedings pursuant to Ext.P4 shall be kept in abeyance for a period of two weeks. S. SIRI JAGAN, Judge Mbs/ S.
