Since the petitioner has a right of appeal before the Commissioner of Land Revenue as provided under Rule 168(4) of the Explosives Rules against Ext.P4, I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition at this stage. Therefore, without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to file an appeal against Ext.P4 before the Commissioner of Land Revenue, this writ petition is dismissed.
