It is settled proposition of law that whenever alternative efficacious remedy is available to a person, he cannot be allowed to bypass the jurisdiction of Appellate Authority. 4. In view of the above, the instant writ petition stands disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner to approach the appropriate authority by way of filing an appeal. 5. In case, any appeal is submitted by the petitioner before the Appellate Authority within a period of one month from today, the Appellate Authority is expected to hear and decide the same on its merits, after affording opportunity of hearing to all the respective parties, expeditiously as early as possible, preferably within a period of three months thereafter, ignoring the period of limitation. 6. Since the petitioner has remained unrepresented before this Court and she is not aware about passing of this order, Office is directed to send a copy of this order to the petitioner on her address mentioned in the memo of cause title for her intimation. 7. The stay application and all applications (pending, if any) also stand disposed of. (ANOOP KUMAR DHAND),J KuD/61
