Perused the pleadings in the writ petition. Petitioner questions the sustainability of order dated 4.5.2011 as contained in Annexure-5 which was passed by the respondent No. 5 upon conclusion of departmental proceeding. At least for more than one reasons, the writ application deserves to be dismissed. Firstly, the order has been passed by the respondent in the State of Manipur. This Court prima facie would not have territorial jurisdiction in the matter. Secondly, the order is appealable in terms of Rule 28 of the Central Reserve Police Force Rules, 1955. If the statute itself provides a remedy, this Court 2 would be justified in declining invocation of its writ jurisdiction. The application is dismissed. pkj (Kishore K. Mandal, J.)
