Ext.P8 contains a decision of the Director of Agriculture (Soil Conservation) refusing the request of the petitioner for promotion. This obviously is a decision adverse to the interest of the petitioner and therefore, an appealable one before the Government. Without prejudice to such rights, this writ petition is dismissed owing to availability of such efficacious alternate remedy. THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN Judge kkb.
