Ext.P6 proceedings settling the timings pursuant to Ext.P5 also is under challenge in this writ petition. 2. Ext.P5 is a revisable order. As in the case of an appeal there is no restriction on the power of the State Transport Appellate Tribunal to condone the delay in filing a revision petition. Such being the situation I am of the opinion that the petitioner should exhaust the remedy available to him by way of revision before seeking the intervention of this Court. I accordingly decline jurisdiction and dismiss the writ petition leaving open the petitioner's contentions and reserving liberty with the petitioner to move the State Transport Appellate Tribunal in revision challenging Ext.P5 and the consequential proceedings evidenced by Ext.P6.
