In the said view of the matter, since there is a statutory remedy provided, the petitioner ought to have approached the Tribunal for obtaining necessary relief. The writ application is accordingly dismissed with the liberty to the petitioner to approach the Tribunal for appropriate relief. Since the present matter has been pending in this Court for nearly seven years, in case such a petition is filed before the Tribunal within four weeks from today, then the Tribunal shall consider the same expeditiously and dispose it of within six months from the filing of the same.
