IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) THURSDAY, THE THIRTY FIRST DAY OF DECEMBER TWO THOUSAND AND NINE PRESENT THE HON'BLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 28899 OF 2009 Between: Sri V.Govardhan ..... PETITIONER AND The English and Foreign Languages University, A Central University established by an Act of parliament, Hyderabad, Rep. By its Vice- Chancellor and another .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner: Counsel for the Respondents: The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 28899 OF 2009 ORDER : This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the order passed by the 2nd respondent dated 06.06.2009, whereunder the major penalty from dismissal of service was imposed against the petitioner as arbitrary and illegal. However, it is to be noticed that against the said order an alternative remedy of appeal is available before the 1st respondent and as a matter of fact the petitioner has already preferred such an appeal. In the circumstances, the interference by this Court at this stage is not warranted. Instead, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the Writ Petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to dispose of the appeal pending on his file following due process of law as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of this order. No costs. _____________ G. ROHINI, J. Date: 31.12.2009 Ivd
