We find no justification for exercising our jurisdiction in so far as the impugned order is concerned. The instant petition is accordingly dismissed. Liberty is however granted to the petitioner to approach the jurisdictional High Court, if the petitioner is so advised, to assail the impugned order, in accordance with law. We may not be taken to have expressed any opinion on the merits of the case one way or the other.
