He submits that now all such disputes including that being raised by the 2 petitioner is cognizable by the Administrative Tribunal which would be the proper forum for the petitioner to move. In view of this Court, it will be proper to grant leave to the petitioner to seek his remedy and reliefs first before the Administrative Tribunal which is the appropriate forum and the Tribunal would consider the same in accordance with law. It is expected that if any such application is being filed on behalf of the petitioner the learned Administrative Tribunal will consider the question of limitation keeping in view that the petitioner was pursuing his remedy before this Court under the writ jurisdiction. With this observation, this application is disposed off. U. K. ( Dinesh Kumar Singh, J)
