He attacks the order on various grounds. But, against that order the petitioner has got a right of appeal before the appellate authority. The learned counsel for the petitioner points out that the petitioner may have to pay the entire amount for invoking the appellate remedy. But, if the petitioner pays one-fourth of the amount and presents the appeal within two weeks from today, the appellate authority will hear and dispose of the appeal without insisting for further payment. With this direction, the Writ Petition is closed. All the contentions of the petitioner against Ext.P4 are kept open. 2nd April, 2007. K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE. Nm/
