The petitioner was working as Conductor in the respondent- Corporation. On an allegation of mis-conduct, a departmental enquiry was conducted and ultimately, by an order, dated 04.07.2002, passed by the third respondent, the appellant was removed from the service of the respondent-Corporation and it was also ordered that the period of suspension pending enquiry will be treated as the period ‘not on duty’. Aggrieved by the said order, the appellant carried the matter in appeal to the Divisional Manager, Vijayawada, of the respondent- Corporation. The said appeal was rejected by an order dated 26.11.2002, which was confirmed by the review authority on 29.04.2003. Hence, the above-mentioned writ petition. The learned single judge dismissed the writ petition at the stage of admission itself on the ground that the appellant herein has an effective alternative remedy by way of an Industrial dispute. In the background of the above-mentioned facts, we do not see any reason to interfere with the order under appeal. The writ appeal is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ____________________ J.
