Recently Govt. of U.P. released a list of nearly 1042 . Doctors whose services have been terminated since they were absconding / absent unauthorisedly for a long time and not traceabe. Being untraceable, disciplinary action could not be taken against them and fresh recruitment could not be made. Therefore in consultation with U.P.Public Service Commission and approval of Hon\'ble Governor in exercise of power under article 311(2) their services have been terminated by Govt. of U.P. I am a consultant Gynaecologist and a class I officer working in U.P.Govt. PMHS and posted in a District Hospital . I am a postgraduate (Gold Medalist) and have rendered uninterrupted service for 30 years and served in many cities and hospitals of the Govt. My name is also included in the list of terminated doctors. While I have made representations to concerned authorities and the outcome is awaited, meanwhile prominent dailies of Allahabad and Kanpur have sensationalised the news of my termination which has added to my grief. I suspect that my inclusion in the list of terminated doctors is not an ordinary mistake but a pre meditated action of my superior officer and others acting in consert with her/him by giving false information or specious feedback when information about missing doctors was being collected. Kindly advise whether a writ petition against my wronful termination could give me following relief: 1.A compensation equivalent to my remaining service of about 5 years or more? 2.An order for an enquiry to fix liability on those who have furnished false information or specious feedback knowing it to be false. 3.Voluntary Retirement from Service if I choose to demand.

certainly you can approach the high court by way of a writ and seek all these remedies.

If there exists a Service Administrative Tribunal in U.P., U have to approach it first. Otherwise, U have to approach the high court by way of a writ petition.
