Respondents Prayer : Writ petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India to issue a writ of Certiorari call for records pertaining to R.No.14461/A2/2011, dated 20.04.2011 and consequential order dated 03.05.2011 passed in R.No.14461/A2/2011 by the first respondent and quash both the order as illegal and to pass such further or other orders. For Petitioner : Mr.P.Krishna Swamy For Respondents : Mr.T.S.Mohammed Mohideen Additional Government Pleader ORDER Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the respondents. By consent, the writ petition itself is taken up for final disposal. 2. The petitioner has approached this Court by filing this writ petition challenging the impugned order of the first respondent, dated 20.04.2011 and the consequential order dated 03.05.2011. 3. Admittedly, the petitioner has got a remedy of filing an appeal before the Deputy Transport Commissioner under Section 57 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. Instead of doing so, the petitioner has approached this Court challenging the order, dated 20.04.2011 of the first respondent. 4. In view of the above, I am inclined to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the petitioner to file an appeal challenging the order of the first respondent dated 20.04.2011 before the Deputy Transport Commissioner, Madurai as provided under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 and the Rules made thereunder. Since the petitioner is prosecuting the matter before this Court without filing an appeal, the said authority is directed to dispose of the matter on merits without any reference to the delay. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
