Learned Single Judge dismissed the original petition refusing to exercise the writ jurisdiction in preference to an available remedy under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. 2. Petitioner was an employee of Rubber Board, Kottayam. The original petition was filed against his illegal termination from service as per Ext.P9 order. It was alleged that the order was passed, without conducting any enquiry. While the original petition was pending, the appellant was acquitted by the criminal court. We are of the view that petitioner has an effective alternative remedy against Ext.P9 order. Hence, learned Judge rightly declared jurisdiction. This appeal lacks merit and is dismissed.
