THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR W.P. NO. 25913 of 2015 ORDER:

Heard learned counsel for the parties.

The petitioner questions an order dated 30.3.2013 terminating his contract for maintenance and handling. On the face of it, the said order is now questioned in this writ petition with a delay of more than one and half years. Even apart from that, the agreement between the petitioner and the respondents governed by is inclusive of an arbitration clause 51 which permits any dispute of any nature referable to an arbitrator. The petitioner has, therefore, efficacious alternative remedy against the impugned order and is at liberty to avail the said remedy. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed along with miscellaneous applications, if any, with the liberty as aforesaid. No order as to costs.
