K.Kannan, J. (Oral)
1. The counsel for the respondent states that the petitioners have challenged the seniority list which is the subject matter of the writ petition through an appeal filed before the Civil Writ Petition No.8923 of 2010 (O&M) -2- Registrar. The counsel for the respondent also points out that the petitioners have not been ready ever since the reply has been filed setting out the above facts.
2. The counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners seeks for adjournment. Having regard to the fact that the petitioners have availed of another alternative remedy which is equally efficacious, the petitioners shall not be allowed to continue the proceedings.
3. The writ petition is dismissed, but the petitioners will be at liberty to prosecute the case which is said to be pending before the Registrar. The petitioners are also at liberty to approach this Court for any review of the order, if the appeal had not been prosecuted or had been withdrawn prior to the passing of this order.
4. With these observations, the writ petition is disposed off.
