KURIAN JOSEPH, J. --------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.22463 OF 2006 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 15th day of October, 2008. J U D G M E N T Challenge is on Exhibit P12 order passed by the third respondent-Debt Recovery Tribunal. Since the petitioner has a statutory remedy before the Appellate Tribunal, it is not necessary for this Court to go into the merits of the case and the contentions taken in the writ petition. 2. Therefore, leaving open the contentions and relegating the petitioner to the Appellate Tribunal, this writ petition is disposed of making it clear that in case the petitioner approaches the Appellate Tribunal within a period of one month from today, the same shall be treated to have been filed in time.
