DAVE AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU WRIT APPEAL NO.1212 OF 2009 JUDGMENT: (per the Hon’ble the Chief Justice Sri Anil R. Dave) Being aggrieved by an order dt.6.7.2009, this appeal has been filed by the appellants – original petitioners. The question is with regard to strength of teachers, which the appellant school had employed. Upon perusal of the impugned order, we find that the learned Single Judge was right in observing that a statutory remedy of appeal was available to the appellants – original petitioners and therefore the petition was not entertained. We see no reason to interfere with the impugned order of the learned Single Judge, especially in view of the provisions of Section 7-I of the Employees Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, which provides for an appeal. The appellants are therefore at liberty to file an appeal before the appellate authority within two weeks from today. We are sure that if such an appeal is filed by the petitioners, the appellate authority shall consider the matter and pass an appropriate order at an early date. The appeal stands disposed of as dismissed with no order as to costs. ______________ ANIL R. DAVE, CJ ___________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J 15.10.2009 bnr
