WPSS No.1909 of 2011 Hon’ble V.K. Bist, J. Shri I.P. Gairola, learned counsel for the petitioner. Shri T.A. Khan, learned counsel for the respondents. Heard learned counsel for the parties. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner at length. After being satisfied with the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner, I was inclined to admit the writ petition, but Shri T.A. Khan, learned counsel for the respondents raised objection that writ petition is not maintainable, in view of Regulation no.68 of Food Corporation Of India (Staff) Regulations, 1971, which provides that an employee of the Corporation may prefer a departmental appeal. Considering the objection raised by Shri T.A. Khan, learned counsel for the respondents, this writ petition is disposed of by permitting the petitioner to file departmental appeal within a period of one week from today. In case, such departmental appeal is filed by the petitioner, the same shall be decided by the Appellate Authority within a period of one month. Stay application (CLMA No.13484 of 2011) also stands disposed of. ( V.K. Bist , J.) Arpan 22.12.2011
