Now that the Tribunal is fully functioning, it is not necessary for this Court to go into the disputed questions of fact involved in this case. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of as follows :- In the event of the petitioner filing an appeal before the Tribunal against Ext.P11 within two months from today, the Tribunal shall consider the appeal and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law with notice to the petitioner, expeditiously. The interim order passed by this Court on 14.5.2004 will continue till such time. KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE. tgs OP NO. 2 KURIAN JOSEPH, J. ---------------------------------------------- O.P. NO.
