IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO.6779 OF 2007 ________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office | Memoranda of Coram, | Court's or Judge's orders appearances, Court's | orders or directions | and Registrar's orders | ________________________________________________________ Mr. S.R. Barlinge, Adv. for petitioner. Mr. Alok Sharma, Standing Counsel for R.No.1. Mr. R.P. Phatke, A.G.P. for R.No. 2. CORAM: SMT. NISHITA MHATRE & S.S. SHINDE, JJ. 21st March, 2011. Heard. 2 The petitioner was working as a constable with the respondents. It appears that his services were terminated on 4th January, 2007. The respondent accepted the communication from the Tahsildar, Jalgaon that the wp6779.07 2 petitioner did not belong to the caste that was claimed and, therefore, the respondents dismissed him from service. 3 Essentially therefore, the petitioner challenges the order of dismissal. Whether the dismissal order has been passed for one reason or the other, whether it has been passed because of an illegal order passed by the Tahsildar or otherwise, it is the dismissal order which has been challenged in this petition. The petitioner has an alternate and efficacious remedy of approaching the Central Administrative Tribunal. 4 In these circumstances, the petition is dismissed. wp6779.07 3 If the petitioner approaches the Administrative Tribunal, the Tribunal may take into consideration the fact that these proceedings were pending while considering whether the original application which the petitioner would file has been filed beyond the period of limitation.
