THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU WRIT PETITION No.13670 of 2011 Dated: 30.04.2011 Between: M.Bhoja Raju. .. Petitioner. And The Project Director, District Water Management Agency (DWMA) and Joint Secretary, Society for Rural Development Services (SRDS), Mahaboobnagar District, Mahaboobnagar, and others. .. Respondents. ORDER: Challenging the proceedings No.TSC/MBNR/00013, dated 02.04.2011, issued by the 1st respondent, whereby the petitioner was terminated from services, the present writ petition is filed. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj & Rural Development appearing for the respondents. It is the case of petitioner that first respondent, without following any procedure and without giving any opportunity to him to put forth his contentions, passed the termination order and first respondent neither appointed any enquiry officer nor followed any procedure before passing the termination order. It is well established that the remedy provided for in Article 226 of the Constitution is a discretionary remedy and the High Court has always discretion to refuse to grant such a relief in certain circumstances even though a legal right might have been infringed. Availability of an alternative remedy is one of such considerations, which the High Court may take into account in refusing to exercise jurisdiction. Admittedly, against the impugned proceedings, dated 02.04.2011, issued by the 1st respondent, the petitioner has an effective alternative remedy of appeal before the District Collector concerned, as per the circular issued by the Government. Petitioner can file an appeal before the District Collector concerned. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of directing the petitioner to file an appeal against the impugned proceedings dated 02.04.2011 before the District Collector concerned. No costs. __________________ JUSTICE K.C.BHANU 30.04.2011 v v
