Though no doubt that the Chief Commissioner for Persons with Disability as also the Ministry of Human Resource Development had passed certain orders in his favour in Delhi, however, that by itself would not give substantial cause of action to file a consequential writ petition before this Court.

¶24

Keeping in view the ratio of Supreme Court in the case of Kusum Ingots & Alloys Ltd. Vs. Union of India And Another reported in (2004) 6 SCC 254, this Court is of the considered opinion that even sub Clause (2) of Article 226 of Constitution of India would not come to the aid of the petitioner herein. It is submitted by learned counsel that the petitioner, after retirement, is ordinarily residing in Kerala.

¶25

In view of the aforesaid observations as also the fact that in the interest of justice, it would be appropriate to direct the petitioner to file the present petition before the High Court having foundational jurisdiction to consider the present writ petition.

¶26

In view of above, the petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner as above.

¶27

The petition and pending applications also stand disposed of.
