THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.25127 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner was employed as Conductor in Jagtial Depot of the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation. Disciplinary proceedings were initiated against him by serving a charge sheet, dated 28.05.2009. The allegation relates to the irregularities in issuing tickets. After the petitioner submitted his explanation, the Depot Manager, Jagtial Depot, respondent No.3 herein, appointed an Enquiry Officer. Domestic Enquiry was conducted and a report was submitted on 17.09.2009. The petitioner was issued a second show cause notice, dated 09.10.2009, proposing the punishment of termination of contract. The petitioner submitted his explanation on 14.10.2009. Taking the same into account, respondent No.3 passed an order, dated 19.10.2009, terminating the services of the petitioner. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioner filed a review before the Regional Manager, Karimnagar, respondent No.2 herein. It was rejected on 24.02.2010. The same is challenged in this writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The petitioner challenges the order of termination, which in turn was affirmed in the review. He has an effective alternative remedy to raise an industrial dispute under Section 2-A (2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. This Court cannot entertain a writ petition against the order of termination, unless it is shown to be patently illegal or it established that it was passed without jurisdiction. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed, leaving it open to the petitioner to approach the Labour Court. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J.
