Keeping in view the fact that the petitioner has got alternate

and efficacious remedy, we decline interference on merits in the matter. However, looking to the fact that at the site in question, there are large number of labours being deployed by the petitioner and the delay in deciding the appeal would cause financial loss to the petitioner, we dispose of this petition by directing the appellate authority to decide the petitioner's appeal as expeditiously as possible but in any case not latter than two weeks from 24.4.2018. 4.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner will appear before the appellate authority on 24.4.2018 at 11.00 am.
