ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J.(ORAL) The petitioner has impugned the order dated 28.9.2006 (Annexure P-7) vide which recovery of Rs.1,23,355/- has been ordered against the petitioner. A cut of 1% from the pension has also been imposed on the petitioner. Counsel for the respondents submits that against the order (Annexure P-7), an appeal lies under Regulation 18 of the Punjab State Electricity Board Employees (Punishment and Appeal) Regulations, 1971. Counsel for the respondents has also placed reliance on the order passed by this Court in CWP No.3744 of 2004, decided on 19.1.2007, wherein controversy was the same. Counsel for the respondents further submits that the aforementioned orders have been suppressed by the petitioner. After hearing counsel for the parties, we are of the considered opinion that the petitioner has an alternative remedy of filing an appeal CWP No.13643 of 2007 -2- against the order (Annexure P-7), hence this writ petition is not maintainable. In case the petitioner files an appeal challenging the order (Annexure P-7) dated 28.9.2006, the same shall be decided by the competent authority within a period of 3 months from its filing.
