RADHAKRISHNAN, J. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ W.P.(C) No. 5209 of 2008-T ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Dated this the 13th day of February, 2008 J U D G M E N T The petitioner applied for re-classification as a Class-I Special Grade Society. That has been refused by the Joint Registrar, as per the impugned order, exercising the powers of the Registrar. This is a decision that can be challenged in appeal/revision before the Government in terms of the K.C.S Act. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioner, however, states that the impugned decision has been taken on the premise that particular audit report was not available and therefore, the petitioner has made Exts.P8 and P9 representations. He having exercised a power in a particular manner, I do not deem it appropriate to direct the Registrar to reconsider the issue, particularly, when the petitioner has an adequate remedy by way of filing appeal/revision before the superior authority or the W.P.(C).No.5209/2008-T -: 2 :- Government. Under such circumstances, this writ petition is closed without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to move appeal/revision before the Government, in terms of law.
