NO. 15851 OF 2008 K -------------------------------------- Dated this the 28th May, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner challenges Exts.P1 and P3. Ext.P3 is an order passed by the Assistant Engineer after Ext.P2 objections filed by the petitioner and purporting to consider the same. Learned standing counsel for the respondent Electricity Board points out that the petitioner has a remedy by way of Appeal. Standing counsel points out that the petitioner has already deposited fifty per cent of the amount. In such circumstances, I feel that the petitioner should be relegated to pursue the remedy of statutory Appeal, wherein the contentions of the petitioner can be gone into. Counsel for petitioner seeks time to file Appeal. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of as follows: The proceedings pursuant to Exts.P1 and P3 shall be kept in abeyance for a period of two weeks from today in order to enable the petitioner to prefer Appeal.
