J U D G M E N T The petitioner challenges Ext.P5 order passed by the village officer, Maneed, under the provisions of the Transfer of Registry Rules, whereby the application for mutation submitted by the petitioner has been rejected. Since the petitioner has an effective alternative remedy by way of an appeal under the provisions of Transfer of Registry Rules, against ext.P5 order, I am not inclined to entertain the writ petition at this stage. Accordingly the writ petition is disposed of without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to file an appeal against Ext.P5 order, as provided in the Transfer of Registry Rules.
