Since admittedly the petitioner has a right of appeal against the impugned order, I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition. Therefore without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to file an appeal against Ext.P4 order, this writ petition is dismissed. However since the petitioner has filed this writ petition only because of the pendency of W.P. (C) No.4077/2011 which has been dismissed as infructuous only today, if the petitioner files an appeal within two weeks, the same shall be accepted as one filed within time. Sd/- S.
