HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.23008 OF 2010 ORDER: Petitioner worked as Badili Filler in the Singareni Collieries. He was issued charge sheet dated 21-1-2008 framing charge as to unauthorized absence. He submitted his explanation and a domestic enquiry was conducted. In the report dated 16-02-2008, the charge framed against the petitioner was found proved. Taking the same into account, the 1st respondent passed an order dated 15-12-2008 dismissing the petitioner from service. The same is challenged in this writ petition. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. 3. Petitioner has the remedy of raising Industrial Dispute before the Labour Court. It is stated that the effort made by the petitioner to avail that remedy, was thwarted on the ground that he did not avail departmental remedy to appeal and the appeal could not be presented on account of uncertainty as to the authority. Even assuming that the petitioner did not avail the remedy of appeal, his right to seek the remedy under Section 2-A (2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 cannot be denied to him. 4. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of leaving it open to the petitioner to raise the Industrial Dispute before the competent Labour Court. It is directed that even if the petitioner has not availed the remedy of appeal, the Labour Court shall entertain the I.D., if it is otherwise in order, and dispose of the same as early as possible, preferably, within a period of four (4) months from the date of institution of the proceedings. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J September 20, 2010. KTL
