2. By consent of learned counsel on both sides, this writ petition is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage itself. Since no adverse order is going to be passed, notice to third respondent is dispensed with.
3. After submitting for a brief while, learned counsel for petitioner would submit that he would prefer an appeal against the impugned order in terms of the Act. It is the case of petitioner that the impugned order suffers from glaring error, which is apparent and wholly arbitrary.

the Appellate Authority. If any such appeal is filed, the same shall be entertained and disposed of within a period of four months from the date of filing of the appeal without further reference to limitation. No costs.
