V. SEETHAPATHY WRIT APPEAL NO.580 OF 2002 ORDER: (per B.P.R.,J) The appellant is the unsuccessful writ petitioner, who filed the appeal inter alia seeking to assail the order of the learned single Judge dismissing Writ Petition No.25535 of 2001, dated 18.12.2001. 2. The appellant herein filed writ petition No. 25535 of 2001 seeking quashing of the award passed by the first respondent without giving an opportunity to him to participate in the trial. The learned single Judge has not acceded to the said plea and dismissed the writ petition mainly on the ground that alternative remedy of appeal lies to the Deputy Commissioner of Labour, as provided for under Section 48(3) of the A.P. Shops and Establishments Act, and refused to exercise the jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. 3. Having heard the learned counsel on either side and also on perusal of the material, it is to be seen that even though several points on merits are sought to be made out, including a request for providing an opportunity and since the order is an exparte one and in view of the factum of having such an alternative remedy where all these aspects can be gone into amply, we are refrained from interfering with the orders of the learned single Judge, leaving open to the appellant to file an appeal within a period of eight weeks from today and the same shall be disposed of on merits in accordance with law, after giving notice and opportunity to both sides. 4. Writ appeal is accordingly dismissed. No costs. _________________ B. PRAKASA RAO, J. ___________________ G. V.SEETHAPATHY, J. 26th August 2009 Note: Issue C.C.within one week. B/o.
