AP High Court recalls order quashing termination of Dell employee

By S A Ishaqui

Hyderabad, July 19: A division bench comprising Justice T. Meena Kumari and Justice Gopalakrishna Tamada of the AP High Court on Tuesday recalled its order which sets aside the termination notice issued by the Dell International Services India Pvt. Ltd. to one of its employees, Mr Rajendran Chingaravelu.

It may be mentioned that the bench had earlier passed the order while dealing with a civil miscellaneous appeal filed by Mr Rajendran. In the petition, he challenged the termination order issued by the company taking into cognisance of a dispute outside its premises.

The court directed the company to either reinstate the employee or pay the scale till the disposal of the original suit filed by the employee in the Civil Court.

The company had then submitted a petition before the bench seeking review of its order.

The bench recalled its order observing that straightaway filing of a miscellaneous appeal before the High Court against an order of the civil court was not maintainable as there is a provision in the law for appealing before the appellate court.

While recalling the order, the bench asked the lower court to consider the application of the petitioner within two weeks and pass an appropriate order.
