MUNISHWAR NATH BHANDARI, J. Mr..K.S. Gill for the petitioners. Mr.S. Ladrecha Dy.G.A. for the respondent. ***** These writ petitions are directed against the order of punishment dated 06.11.2007. Since the order of punishment has been made under Rajasthan Civil Services (Control and Classification) Rules, statutory appeal against the order of appointment lies under Rule 23 however, the petitioners are failed to file an appeal and approached this Court directly in the writ jurisdiction. In view of the provisions of filing of appeal, the writ is not maintainable thus while dismissing the writ petition on that count, petitioners are given liberty to file appeal before the appellate authority as per Rule 23 of the Rajasthan Civil Services (Control and Classification) Rules. If such appeal is preferred by the petitioner within a period of two weeks from today then the appellate authority is directed to decide the same on merits within another period of two months from the date of filing of the appeal. However, the petitioners 2 would be at liberty to seek interim protection in regard to recovery from the appellate authority. With the aforesaid directions these writ petitions are disposed of.
