THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 24981 of 1998 Date: 12.10.2007 Between: Natco Pharma Limited, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad. … Petitioner AND The Authority under Sec.48 of the APSE Act & Asst. Commissioner of Labour, Nellore and another. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : None Counsel for respondent No.2: Shri B.G. Ravindranath Reddy THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 24981 of 1998 ORDER:- This writ petition is filed for a writ of Certiorari to quash order dated 12.08.1998 in S.E.No.2 of 1997 on the file of the Authority under Section 48 of the Andhra Pradesh Shops and Establishment Act (for short “the Act”) and Assistant Commissioner of Labour, Nellore. Sri B.G. Ravinder Reddy, learned counsel for respondent No.2 pointed out, in my view, rightly that under Section 48(3) of the Act, a second appeal shall lie against any decision of the authority passed under sub-section (2) of Section 48 of the Act. Respondent No.2 specifically raised this contention in his counter- affidavit. No rejoinder affidavit is filed on behalf of the petitioner. Since an effective alternative remedy by way of appeal is available to the petitioner, there is no reason to entertain and dispose of the writ petition on merits. The petitioner has not made out any extraordinary reason to ignore the availability of alternative remedy. In view of the same, the writ petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to avail the remedy of appeal. No order as to costs. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 12.10.2007 ES
