THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO W.P.No.25602 of 1998 Date: 20-07-2007 Between: Ch.Mohan Rao Petitioner And Senior Divisional Personnel Officer, South Eastern Railway, Visakhapatnam and another Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO W.P.No.25602 of 1998 ORDER: 1. The learned counsel for the writ petitioner seeks permission to withdraw the writ petition as there is effective alternative remedy of preferring an appeal before the appropriate appellate authority under the statute. 2. Since the writ petition is pending consideration in this court for a very long period, he can persuade the appellate authority to condone the delay in preferring such an appeal. It is always open to the petitioner to move the appellate authority and invite it’s attention to the fact that this writ petition is pending and on that strength and basis can seek an appropriate relief. 3 With this, the writ petition stands dismissed as withdrawn. Sri Gouri Shanker Sanghi has represented that there is already an appeal preferred by the petitioner which is also pending before the appellate authority. It is needless to observe that the respondents are equally at liberty to oppose any such threatened move by the petitioner. No order as to costs. ___________________________ NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO,J 20-07-2007 Stp s
