Disciplinary proceedings were initiated against him, by issuing a charge memo, dated 21.5.2006. After conducting domestic enquiry, the Depot Manager, Nalgonda, the 4th respondent, passed an order, dated 7.3.2007, deleting the name of the petitioner from the approved list of drivers. Petitioner filed an appeal before the Deputy Chief Traffic Manager, Nalgonda, the 3rd respondent. The appeal was rejected, vide order dated 20.6.2007. Thereafter, the petitioner filed a review before the Regional Manager, the 2nd respondent, and the same was also rejected on 5.11.2007. Petitioner challenges the same. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. Admittedly, the petitioner answers the description of a workman, and he has an effective alternative remedy, by way of industrial dispute, under Section 2-A (2) of the Industrial Disputes Act. The Labour Court would be in a better position to examine the matter, on facts as well as law. In fact, the discretion of the Labour Court is wider than that of this court. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed, leaving it open to the petitioner, to avail the remedy under Section 2-A (2) of the Industrial Disputes Act. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________ 27th March 2008 PAN
