Advocates:
For the Appellants/Petitioners: SHRI.AMEEN HASSAN K., SMT.LISNA SHERIN T.T., SMT.UMMUL FADLA T.
For the Respondents: GP SRI VENUGOPAL V

The Court held that the petitioners must seek redress through the Administrative Tribunal instead of filing a writ petition.

Headnote:The petitioners sought quash of prior orders and sought financial benefits and compensation for fundamental rights violations. The Court determined that the petitioners must return to the Administrative Tribunal for appropriate avenues, thus not permitting this writ petition. The conclusion is that the petition is disposed of, granting the liberty to challenge the order appropriately.

2. requirement to return to the administrative tribunal. (Para 2)

JUDGMENT

The above writ petition is filed with following prayers :

i) “Issue a writ of certiorari or any other appropriate writs, orders of directions calling for the records leading to Exhibit P9 and P10 and quash the same;

ii) Issue a writ of Mandamus directing the 1st respondent to award the designation of Medical officers along with the eligible financial benefit in retrospective effect.

iii) Issue a writ of Mandamus directing the 1st respondent to award adequate compensation for the sufferings due to the violation of fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution of India.

iv) Dispense with the filing of English translation of Vernacular documents;

v) Grant such other reliefs as this Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper in the circumstances of the case

2. The impugned order is passed admittedly based on the direction in Ext.P5. Ext.P5 is a judgment in OP(KAT) No. 68/2025 which was filed challenging an order passed in OA No. 2286/2023 of the Kerala Administrative Tribunal, Thiruvananthapuram. Hence, if the petitioners are aggrieved by the order passed based on Ext.P5, the petitioners have to go back to the Administrative Tribunal with appropriate Original Application. This Court cannot entertain a writ petition against the same.

Granting liberty to the petitioners to challenge that impugned order before the appropriate authority in accordance with law, this writ petition is disposed of.
