The court observed that the litigants and advocates would be "well advised to at least read the basic law" before approaching the courts.
Justice Valmiki J Mehta observed this while dismissing a plea by some petitioners seeking setting aside of letters issued by Guru Tegh Bahadur Polytechnic Institute here, terminating their services.
In its verdict, the high court held that petitioners have approached it despite the fact that there was an alternative efficacious remedy of approaching the district judge concerned before whom all these issues can be heard and decided.
"It is therefore clear that petitioners have approached the court, although there is an alternative efficacious remedy of approaching the concerned district judge before whom all the issues which are raised in the writ petition can be heard and decided," the court said.
"The disputes which are subject matter of the present writ petition would be governed by sub-section (d) of the section 32 (of the Act) and therefore, the petitioner will have to approach the designated court," the court said while terming the plea as "not maintainable".
