AR. Lakshmanan, J.

The writ appeal is directed against the order of K.Venkataswami, J. as he then was, dated 212. 1987 in W.P.No.l 1336 of 1981 allowing the said writ petition filed by the respondent herein holding that the order impugned in the writ petition was passed by an authority not competent under the new Regulations and also rejecting the argument of the learned counsel for the Indian Bank that the order was passed by an authority higher than the competent authority since the respondent herein is deprived of an appeal to the Appellate Authority. The learned Judge quashed the order impunged in the writ petition on both these grounds. Aggrieved by the order passed by the learned single Judge in the writ petition, the Indian Bank has preferred the above writ appeal.
