It is further submitted that, 3 instead of approaching this Court, the petitioner ought to have availed the statutory remedy of appeal within the prescribed period of limitation. However, the petitioner failed to do so. 4. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record. 5. Having heard learned counsel for the parties, considered their rival submissions, and upon perusal of the material available on record, this Court is of the considered opinion that the ends of justice would be served by granting the petitioner a limited opportunity to avail the statutory remedy available under law. Accordingly, the petitioner is granted 15 days' time to file an appropriate appeal/revision before the competent Commissioner along with an application for grant of interim stay. In the event such appeal/revision is preferred within the aforesaid period, the concerned Commissioner shall consider and decide the application for interim relief, as well as the appeal/revision, in accordance with law. Till the expiry of the said period of 15 days, the respondent authorities shall not take any coercive steps against the petitioner. 6. With this observation and direction, the petition stands disposed of. Sd/- (Amitendra Kishore Prasad) Judge U.K. Raju
