THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.11555 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner was working as Junior Lineman in the Southern Power Distribution Company Limited, the 1st respondent herein. He was removed from service, through order dated 24-01-2004. The same was challenged in W.P.No.22092 of 2007. The writ petition was allowed on 06-12-2007, on the ground that proper enquiry was not conducted. The respondents filed Writ Appeal No.272 of 2009. Even while upholding the order of the learned single Judge in the writ petition, the Division Bench directed that, it shall be open to the respondents to proceed against the petitioner, afresh. The petitioner was reinstated, and thereafter, a charge-sheet was issued by the disciplinary authority, the 2nd respondent. After following the prescribed procedure, he passed an order dated 06-06-2009, dismissing the petitioner from service. The same is challenged in this writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The impugned order was passed as a sequel to the observations made by the Division Bench of this Court, in Writ Appeal No.272 of 2009. All the same, it is not an order of dismissal, and the petitioner has an effective alternative remedy of appeal to the Superintending Engineer. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, leaving it open to the petitioner to avail the remedy of appeal to the Superintending Engineer. If the appeal is presented within six weeks from today, it shall be entertained, without raising any objection, as to limitation. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ L.
