The petitioner has prayed for setting aside the charge-sheets as
enumerated in Annexure P-2. Counsel for respondents states that the
petitioner who was working as Assistant Grade III in the FCI was served
with 15 separate charge-sheets, the details of which have been given in
Annexure R-1. Counsel for the respondents states that after the conclusion
of departmental proceedings the petitioner has the alternative remedy of
filing appeal under the FCI Staff Regulations, 1971 and therefore, this writ
petition is not maintainable.
After hearing counsel for the parties, we relegate the petitioner
to seek his alternative remedy of filing appeal in case he has aggrieved by
any order of punishment in the 15 cases which are the subject matter of this
writ petition.
Writ petition disposed of.
