The petitioners state that though more than two years have elapsed, the respondents are not releasing the pension and other benefits that have accrued to late Pushpa Veni. Several contentions are urged by the learned counsel for the petitioners. This Court would certainly have examined the contentions advanced on behalf of the petitioners, but for the fact that, not only the petitioners have an effective alternative remedy, by way of approaching the A.P. Administrative Tribunal, but also the jurisdiction of this Court is taken away under Section 14 of the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985. The Writ Petition is dismissed, leaving it open to the petitioners to pursue their remedies before the A.P. Administrative Tribunal. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ Dt.03.03.2008 L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J GJ To 1 The Secretary, Ministry of Medical & Health Department, A.P., Secretariat, Hyderabad. 2 The Director, Medical & Health Department, Koti,Hyderabad. 3 The Accountant General (A&E), A.P., Hyderabad-500 004. 4 The Superintendent, Govt., General Hospital, Guntur, Guntur District. 5 2CCs to the Government Pleader for Medical, Health and Family Welfare. 6 2CD copies
