It is apparent on record that the petitioner was reinstated in service pursuant to a compromise entered into by him with the private Management. The Polytechnic College where he is working is a private College run by the Management. In case the petitioner has any grievance against it, or wants his legal notice, dated 12.11.2024, to be decided, he has an efficacious alternative remedy to file appeal before the Educational Tribunal concerned, and this Court is not inclined to entertain the petition on that account. 4.

Accordingly, the petition stands disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to approach the Educational Tribunal concerned for the relief claimed in the petition.
