Mr.S.Sanalkumar, counsel for the petitioner would submit that the legal questions raised in the Writ Petition are to be decided by this court only and therefore this court will not be justified in relegating the petitioner to the Tribunal. I do not agree. The petitioner is directed to prefer an appeal against Ext.P8 before the Tribunal. If the Tribunal receives an appeal within two weeks from today, the Tribunal will entertain the appeal as one filed on time and dispose of the same in accordance with law. The Writ Petition will stand disposed of as above. However, the interim order presently passed will continue for a period of three more weeks from today. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE
