The petitioner, who has been working as a Paid Secretary with the third respondent herein, seeks to assail the impugned order dated 29.03.1996, whereunder he was asked to handover the charge. The said order specifically referred to the orders dated 09.03.1996 and in the body also, it is referred that the petitioner was dismissed. As against such orders of dismissal, the petitioner has got an alternative remedy of appeal both in-house appeal and also an appeal as provided under the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Shops and Establishments Act. Hence, I do not find any justifiable reason to entertain the writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed granting leave and liberty to the petitioner to file an appeal within a period of eight weeks from today. If any such appeal is filed, the same shall be entertained without raising any objection in regard to limitation and shall be disposed of on merits. No costs. _________________ 01.12.2004 Note: Furnish CC in three days (b/o) VGB To 1 The General Manager, Krishna District Co-operative Central Bank, Machilipatnam 2 The Deputy Registrar Co-operative Societies, Gudivada, Krishna Dist. 3 The President, P.A.C.S., Mandavalli, Krishna Dist. 4 2CD copies 5 2 CCs to the G.P. for Cooperation, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad (OUT).
