BY SC JOHNSON P JOHN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 30/06/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, J. ============================== WP(C) No. 18259 of 2009 ============================== Dated this the 30th day of June, 2009 JUDGMENT Petitioner, an employee of the KSRTC has been visited with the penalty of compulsory retirement. He challenges it. The fact remains that he did not file any intra-institutional appeal as is available under the service regulations. After the decision of the Managing Director on that appeal, if the petitioner is still aggrieved, there is a provision for appeal to the Tribunal constituted for that purpose. I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition by by-passing those two hierarchal alternate remedies since the question raised included a challenge to an enquiry report and therefore may call for appreciation of disputed facts. It is inappropriate that this court embarks on that before the petitioner takes recourse to alternate efficacious remedies as noted above. Writ petition is hence dismissed without prejudice. THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE lgk/30/6
