At the hearing, it is conceded by the learned counsel for the petitioner that against the impugned order, an appeal lies under Regulation 7a of the Andhra Pradesh State Electricity Board Employees Revised Conduct Regulations. Since the petitioner has an effective alternative remedy of an intra-departmental appeal, I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed. The petitioner is permitted to file appeal within a period of three (3) weeks from today and on filing such appeal, the appellate authority shall entertain and dispose of the same on merits. As a sequel to dismissal of main petition, WPMP.No.14091 of 2008 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 14th MAY, 2008 kvni
