JUSTICE G.ROHINI Writ Petition No.17052 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner herein was working as Clerk-cum-Cashier, State Bank of India, Pakala Branch, Chittoor District. This writ petition is filed challenging the order dated 27.02.2004 passed by the 2nd respondent-Assistant General Manager, State Bank of India, Zonal Office, Tirupati (Disciplinary Authority) imposing a punishment of dismissal from service. I have heard the learned counsel for both the parties. Though various grounds have been raised on merits, I am not inclined to go into the same since the petitioner states that as against the order of dismissal, an appeal has been preferred before the Deputy General Manager, S.B.I Zonal Office, Tirupati (Appellate Authority) and the same is pending consideration. In the circumstances, it is not open to the petitioner to invoke the jurisdiction of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India at this stage. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on merits, the Writ Petition is disposed of leaving it open to the appellate authority to dispose of the petitioner’s appeal following due process of law and pass appropriate orders within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of this order. The Writ Petition is disposed of accordingly. No costs. _____________ G.ROHINI, J Dt.17-08-2009 RAR THE HON’BLE MS. JUSTICE G.ROHINI Writ Petition No.17052 of 2009 DATED : 17-08-2009
