W.P. 1442(ss)04 Hon’ble M.M. Ghildiyal, J Heard Sri C.K. Sharma, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the State. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has prayed for a writ of mandamus commanding the respondents to allow the petitioner to work and to pay salary to him. Contention of the petitioner is that he is working in the Forest Department for the last many years. The petitioner was continued in service till November 1991. Contrary to it learned Standing Counsel has submitted that the petitioner did not continue till 1991. It appears that the petitioner is disputing the question raised by the learned counsel for the respondent. Therefore, the matter requires scrutiny. Keeping in view the facts and the relevant question raised by the respondents, in my opinion, the petitioner has alternative remedy by way of filing application before the Labour Court for his redressal. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed on the ground of alternative remedy available to the petitioner. 14.12.2004: (M.M. Ghildiyal, J.) NCM:
