When the matter is taken up for hearing, Mr.Vedula Venkataramana, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader appearing for the 3rd respondent, fairly conceded that as against the impugned order dated 7-4-1992 an appeal lies to the Government under Sub-Section (2) of Section 7 of Act 16, 1993. Inasmuch as there is an efficacious alternative remedy of filing appeal to the Government, under the above said provision, without going into the merits of the various averments made in the petition, the writ petition is disposed of reserving liberty to the writ petitioner to file an appeal within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and on such an appeal being filed by the writ petitioner, it is needless to mention that the same shall be disposed of on merits and in accordance with law, within three months thereafter. Till the appeal is disposed of, the interim order dated 1-10-1993 and extended until further orders subsequently, shall remain in force. No costs. 1-3-2005 Nrg. .ASST.
