25.2.2009 Present: Mr. N. D. Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Shashi Shirshoo, Advocate, for the respondents. CWP(T) No.2879/2008 (OA No.927/97) Mr. N. D. Sharma, Advocate, has referred to the decisions of the Apex Court reported in Kuldip Singh v. State of Punjab {1996(10) SCC 659}, Govt. of A.P. vs. B. Ashok Kumar {1997(5) SCC 478}, Dilip Kumar Tripathy vs. State of Orissa {1996(10) SCC 373} & South Bengal State Transport Corpn. vs. Swapan Kumar Mitra {2006(1) SCT 720} to contend that the impugned order passed is bad in law. After the matter was heard for some time, Mr. Sharma fairly did not press the present petition with liberty to file an appeal before the appropriate authority in accordance with law. Learned counsel for the respondents fairly agreed that in the event of the appellant’s filing an appeal, the same shall be heard and disposed of positively within a period of eight weeks from the date of the receipt of the said appeal. The petitioner is at liberty to file an appeal at the earliest. Needless to add the respondents shall decide the same after affording due opportunity of hearing to the petitioner by passing a reasoned order. It is expected of the respondents to decide the appeal within a period of eight weeks from the date of the receipt of the appeal. It shall always be open for the petitioner to assail any order passed by the appellate authority in accordance with law. The petition is disposed of as such. ( Sanjay Karol ), Judge.
