THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 12863 OF 2008 O R D E R: The petitioner was employed as Line Inspector, in the Southern Power Distribution Company of A.P. Ltd.,, the 1st respondent herein. Disciplinary proceedings were initiated against him, by serving a charge memo dated 27.6.2005. The petitioner submitted his reply on 25.8.2005. An inquiry officer was appointed, who, in turn, submitted a report, holding that the charges framed against the petitioner are proved. The 2nd respondent accepted the report of the inquiry officer, and issued a show-cause notice to the petitioner on 15.9.2006. The petitioner submitted his explanation on 11.12.2006. On a consideration of the same, the 2nd respondent passed an order dated 29.5.2008, dismissing the petitioner from service. The petitioner challenges the order of dismissal. Heard Sri K. Vasudeva Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner, and Sri P.R. Balarami Reddy, learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. Though the learned counsel for the petitioner had urged several contentions, touching on facts and law, this court is not inclined to deal with the same, at this stage. The reason is that the petitioner has an effective remedy, by way of an industrial dispute before the Labour Court, under Section 2-A(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act. The Labour Court would be in a better position to examine the matter, even by scrutinizing the evidence, and to grant the relief, in terms of Section 11- A of that Act. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed, leaving it open to the petitioner, to avail the remedy of industrial dispute. It shall be open to the petitioner to put forward all his contentions, before the Labour Court. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________ 20th June 2008 PAN
