Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and perused the material placed on record. The 2nd respondent initiated proceedings under the Act. Initially a show cause notice was issued under section 4 of the Act. Thereafter, the 2nd respondent proceeded to pass an order under section 5(i) of the Act. Under section 9 of the Act, an appeal lye’s from every order of the 2nd respondent- Estate Oﬃcer and Additional Divisional Railway Manager. Since a statutory remedy is available to the petitioners they have to pursue the same and invoking the jurisdiction of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution in the given facts and circumstances of the case is misconceived. Accordingly, this Writ Petition is dismissed at the admission stage, reserving the liberty of the petitioners to work out their remedy under section 9 of the Act. No costs. 16th September, 2008.
