This order is appealable and I see no reason why the petitioner should not pursue the appellate remedy. 2. In that view of the matter, without expressing anything on merits and leaving it open to the petitioner to pursue the appellate remedy, the writ petition is disposed of. Taking into account the apprehension of the petitioner that the order is likely to be implemented immediately, it is ordered that in order to enable the petitioner to move the appellate authority and to seek and obtain appropriate interlocutory orders, further proceedings pursuant to Ext.P8 shall be deferred for a period of two weeks from today. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the 3rd respondent for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE ma W.P (C) No. 2010 2
