THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B. PRAKASH RAO AND THE HON’BLE SRI RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION NO. 25580 OF 2001 Date: 24.07.2006 B. Soloman. …. Petitioner and The Additional Surveyor General, South Zone, Sarjapur Road, Koramangala II Block, Bangalore-34 and four others. … Respondents. THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B. PRAKASH RAO AND THE HON’BLE SRI RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION NO. 25580 OF 2001 ORDER: (per Hon’ble Sri Justice B. Prakash Rao) Herd the learned Counsel for the petitioner and also the learned Assistant Solicitor General for the respondents and at their request, the writ petition is taken up for disposal. The petitioner herein, who is the employee of the respondents herein, seeks to assail the orders of removal from service. Though several contentions have been urged, admittedly the petitioner filed a regular appeal before the 2nd respondent and the same is still pending. In fact, this Court earlier passed interim direction dated 07.10.2001 granting time for four weeks to dispose of the said appeal. In spite of the same, the appeal is pending. Having regard to the facts and circumstances, there is an alternative remedy of a regular appeal which is pending before the 2nd respondent, where the petitioner can as well urge all these grounds. I deem it appropriate, the said appeal shall be disposed of at the earliest instead of the writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to dispose of the said appeal within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of the order. ____________________ B.
