WPSS No. 411/2009 Hon’ble Tarun Agarwala J. Mr. P. K. Mittal, the petitioner is present in person. Mr. Subhash Upadhyay, learned brief holder for the State. The petitioner has filed the present writ petition praying payment of compensation in view of the existing laws and principles laid down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court. Basically, this demand of compensation is for the mental harassment that is alleged to have been caused by the respondent. It seems that the petitioner was short listed for admission in the year 1984, but after undergoing training he was discharged in the year 1985. The petitioner filed a suit and an injunction was granted permitting the petitioner to appear in the theory papers. Subsequently, the petitioner filed a writ petition no. 1613/2001 (S/S) for appointment as a teacher, which was dismissed by a judgment dated 25.3.2008. Now the present writ petition for compensation has been filed. In my opinion, writ petition under Article 226 is not the appropriate forum for grant of compensation and an appropriate remedy available to the petitioner is to file a regular suit. The writ petition is dismissed on the ground of alternative remedy. Dated: 19.3.2010 Nishant (Tarun Agarwala, J.)
