O R D E R
The petitioner challenges the order dated 30.09.2014, whereby and whereunder he was suspended from service on account of his involvement in a criminal case registered by the police.
2. The petitioner is a member of Police Force. The service matters relating to the Union Territory of Pondicherry should be filed before the Central Administrative Tribunal. The petitioner, without approaching the Central Administrative Tribunal, straightaway filed this writ petition. I am therefore of the view that the writ petition filed in a service matter covered by Central Administrative Tribunal is not maintainable without exhausting the statutory remedy available to the petitioner.
3. When this fact was pointed out, the learned counsel for the petitioner made an endorsement indicating that he is withdrawing the writ petition. In view of the endorsement so made, the writ petition is dismissed as withdrawn. No costs. Connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed.
16.02.2015 rg Note: Registry is directed to return the original impugned order to the learned counsel for the petitioner forthwith.
