Appellate remedy preserved as the authority must hear the appeal on merits without raising limitation, if filed in time.

The writ petition was disposed of by granting the petitioner liberty to challenge the impugned order before the appellate authority. The appellate authority was directed to entertain the appeal on merits, without reference to limitation, if it is filed within the time granted by the court. The operative effect is that the petitioner may pursue the statutory appellate remedy and have the matter considered substantively, subject to compliance with the time allowed.
