Against the impugned order petitioner has remedy of appeal, but instead of availing the remedy 2 of appeal, petitioner chose to challenge the impugned order after about four years of the passing of the same by filing the present writ petition. On the ground of alternative remedy as also on account of delay in challenging the impugned order after about four years of the issue of the said order, I am not inclined to entertain the writ petition, which is, accordingly, dismissed.
