An affidavit has :2: been filed before this court, wherein it is pointed out that against the rejection of an application, there is a statutory remedy by way of an appeal. 3. In the light of the above, in our opinion, as the statutory remedy by way of an appeal is available, this would not be a fit case to exercise extra ordinary jurisdiction. However, if the petitioner prefers an appeal within 30 days from today, the same shall be considered according to law without going into the issue of limitation. 4. With the above observations, petition is disposed of. (R.S. Mohite, J.) (F.I. Rebello, J.)
