Petitioner is aggrieved by the order dated 28.1.2011 (Annexure-8) passed by the Managing Director of the Bihar State Food and Civil Supplies Corporation Ltd (for short the Corporation) whereby on conclusion of departmental proceeding, the petitioner has been visited with major punishment of dismissal from service and recovery of defalcated amount. A counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the respondent Corporation, paragraph 24 whereof reads as under: “24. That, it is also submitted that as per service conduct and disciplinary Rule of the corporation there is provision of appeal against the dismissal order before the Secretary food and consumer Deptt. Govt. of Bihar and from perusal of the writ petition it is clear that petitioner has not preferred appeal against impugned dismissal order dated 28.01.2011 therefore on this ground alone the present writ petition is not maintainable before this Hon'ble Court and petitioner is not entitled for any 2 relief.“ Since the petitioner has an effective and alternative remedy, this Court declines to interfere with the order passed by the Disciplinary Authority which has been impugned in the present application. The petitioner is now required to file appeal raising all issues of fact and law. If any such appeal is preferred within three weeks from today, the Appellate Authority shall consider and dispose of the same on its own merit in accordance with law. The application is dismissed with the observation aforesaid. pkj ( Kishore K. Mandal, J.)
