                       W.P.(C) 22834 of 2007

                      Dated: December 17, 2007

                              JUDGMENT

Ext.P2 fixing the timing of the 2nd respondent is under

challenge. Against this order, the Statute provides for revision

before the STAT. When the counsel for the petitioner was asked as

to why the statutory remedy was not pursued, the answer was that

the order is illegal and therefore this writ petition has been filed.

2. The petitioner is not justified in not resorting to the

statutory remedy and approaching the High Court invoking the

extraordinary jurisdiction under Art.226 of the Constitution.

Writ petition is accordingly dismissed.

ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE
