The petitioner is a retired Government Servant. For redressal of his grievance, Special Forum is provided under the provisions of the Administrative Tribunals Act, 1985 (for short '1985 Act'). When a statute provides Forum for redressal of petitioner's grievance, it is for the petitioner to approach the Forum created under 1985 Act. Since the petitioner is provided with an alternative forum for redressal of his grievance, I decline to exercise jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Accordingly, with liberty to the petitioner to approach appropriate Forum, writ petition stands disposed off. Sd/- (S.G.PANDIT) JUDGE SMJ List No.: 1 Sl No.: 7
