HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU WRIT PETITION No.11028 of 2011 ORDER: The main prayer sought for in this writ petition is to call for the records in Crime No.1012 of 2004 of Punjagutta police station, Hyderabad and quash the same and consequential order to set aside the compulsory retirement. 2. The case of the petitioner is that she was appointed as Telephone Operator in the office of the 2nd respondent and subsequently promoted as Typist and later promoted as Personal Officer based on the provisional degree certificate. While so, she was placed under suspension vide orders dated 23-08-2004 issued by the 3rd respondent on the ground that her provisional degree certificate was found bogus. Further, the police registered a case against her in Crime No.1012 of 2004 with the 1st respondent for the offences under Sections 467, 471 and 420 IPC on 10-09-2004. In fact, she has no intention to deceive the department to get promotion. However, charge sheet was not filed till today since there is no acceptable evidence against her to file the charge sheet. Hence, the grievance of the petitioner is that since the charge sheet was not filed till today though the crime was registered in the year 2004, the same may be closed, so as to enable her to get her pension and other benefits. 3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned standing counsel appearing for the respondents 1 and 2- Corporation and perused the material available on record. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioner contended that though the case was registered in the year 2004, till today, no charge sheet is filed, that it amounts to violation of fundamental right under Article 21 of the Constitution of India. Therefore, he prays to quash the same. 5. If the police have not filed the charge sheet in pursuance of the registration of the crime, there is an alternative remedy available to the petitioner under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to quash the criminal proceedings. No doubt, availability of alternative remedy is not a ground for not invoking the jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, but, at least, under three contingencies, this Court can exercise the jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, viz., when there is violation of fundamental right, the authority has no jurisdiction to pass the order and the principles of natural justice have been violated. The case of the petitioner does not fall for consideration under any one of the above three mentioned categories. Therefore, it is not a fit case to invoke the jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The writ petition is liable to be dismissed. 6. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed leaving it open to the petitioner to avail alternative remedy available under the law. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________ JUSTICE K.C.BHANU 16th June 2011
