Therefore, this petition may be dismissed being not maintainable at this stage. 4. On that Shri Alok Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is a retired employee aged about 64 years and may prefer an appeal before the appellate authority, but direction may be issued to decide the appeal with expedition.

Having considered the arguments of learned counsel for the parties and considering the specific condition to avail alternate statutory remedy, I hereby dismiss this writ petition at this stage. 6. However, a liberty is given to the petitioner to prefer an appeal before the appellate authority within a period of 15 days taking all the pleas and grounds, which are available to him and if such appeal is filed before the appellate authority, the same shall be considered and disposed of finally on merits, ignoring delay, by speaking and reasoned order with expedition preferably within a period of three months from production of a certified copy of this order along with appeal.
