On 23.11.2010, the petitioner submitted a representation to the first respondent. But, till date no action has been taken on the said representation. Hence, the present Writ Petition. 4. Admittedly, an appeal is provided against the dismissal order, dated 23.10.2010, passed by the second respondent. No doubt, an alternative remedy is not a bar to entertain a Writ Petition, but at the same time, atleast under three contingencies viz., (1) there is clear infringement of the fundamental rights; (2) violation of principles of natural justice; and (3) the person who passed the order has no authority or jurisdiction to pass the order, the petitioner can invoke the jurisdiction of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. In the present case, the case of the petitioner does not fall under any one of the three categories mentioned above. Hence, the Writ Petition is liable to be dismissed. 5. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed giving liberty to the petitioner to avail the alternative remedy. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________ K.C.
