JUDGMENT Ext.P10 order passed by the 4th respondent is under challenge. The order is issued under the provisions of the Kerala Rationing Order and the said Order itself provides for a remedy of appeal against the order in the nature of Ext.P10. In view of the availability of an effective alternate remedy, I am not persuaded to invoke the jurisdiction of this court under Article 226 of the constitution of India. Leaving it open to the petitioner to pursue the statutory remedy and leaving open his contentions, the writ Petition is dismissed. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/
