Ext.P8 is an order passed by the disciplinary authority declining the assistance of a lawyer to the petitioner in the domestic enquiry he is facing. 3. In my view at this stage it is not open to the petitioner to challenge Ext.P8. Petitioner should await for the final outcome of the enquiry. It is only at that stage can the petitioner be permitted to challenge the decision of the disciplinary authority. Therefore, reserving his freedom to challenge Ext.P8 after the conclusion of the enquiry, the writ petition is disposed of. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) ttb W.P.C.No. 2210 OF 2009 -:2:-
