The learned Public Prosecutor submits that there is an

appeal provided against the order under Section 404(iv) of the

Kerala Prisons & Correctional Services (Management) Act &

Rules. In such circumstances, it will be appropriate for the

petitioner to approach the appellate authority and then challenge

the same before this Court, if necessary. Leaving open that

remedy, this writ petition (Criminal) is closed.
