Statutory appellate remedy preserved as writ time excluded for limitation and no additional pre-deposit was required.

The writ petition was disposed of by permitting the petitioner to pursue the statutory remedy before the Additional Deputy Commissioner. The period spent in the writ proceedings was directed to be excluded for limitation purposes, so the petitioner would not be prejudiced by the time consumed in the writ forum. No additional pre-deposit was insisted upon as a condition for filing the appeal, preserving access to the appellate remedy without fresh financial burden.
