AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION NOs.5378 AND 5383 OF 2011 DATED:07.3.2011 Between: Coal Mines Provident Fund Organisation Rep. by its Commissioner Jagivan Nagar, Dhanbad Jharkhand … Petitioner And The Andhra Pradesh State Human Rights Commission Gruhakalpa Compex, MJ Road, Hyderabad Rep. by its Registrar and another … Respondents THE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI NISAR AHMAD KAKRU AND THE HON’BLE SHRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION NOs.5378 AND 5383 OF 2011 COMMON ORDER: (per the Hon’ble the Chief Justice Shri Nisar Ahmad Kakru) These two writ petitions are taken up together in view of similarity of the challenge, contending that the Andhra Pradesh State Human Rights Commission (for short, ‘the Commission’) lacks the jurisdiction to entertain the petitions in service matters and for other reason that is pendency of a writ petition before the writ Court on a similar dispute. It is also stated that the petitioner has questioned the jurisdiction of the Commission through counter affidavit filed before the Commission, an appropriate course the petitioner has opted for and we leave him free to press the objection before the Commission and if he does so, it shall be obligatory upon the Commission to decide the objection. Needless to say that if cause afresh accrues to the petitioner, nothing prevents him to approach this Court once again. With these observations, the writ petitions are disposed of. VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J NISAR AHMAD KAKRU, CJ 07-3-2011 B. Narsinga Rao
