In my view, the petitioner must first exhaust his statutory remedy of appeal and then approach this Court, if necessary. I, therefore, direct petitioner to file appeal before the appellate authority and if such an appeal is filed within four weeks from today, the same would be entertained and decided on merit after condoning delay and must be finally disposed of within two months from the date appeal is filed. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. M.E.H./ (Navaniti Prasad Singh)
