Appeal was filed, in which the matter was remanded by Ext.P3 order of the Commissioner for Civil Supplies. Subsequently, the District Collector by Ext.P6 order recommended to the Commissioner that a vigilance enquiry is necessary into the allegations against the petitioner. The matter was pending and the petitioner represented to the Commissioner. 2. Even thereafter, since there was no progress, petitioner approached this Court by filing WP(C) No.8393/2010. That writ petition was disposed of by Ext.P9 judgment dated 8/4/2010 directing that the Commissioner shall take a decision on the representation.

It is complaining of the above, the writ petition is filed by the petitioner. 3.
