PLEADER SHRI.ANTONY MUKKATH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 12/04/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No. 12090 of 2011 ================== Dated this the 12th day of April, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner was dismissed from service on being found guilty in disciplinary proceedings. On the same set of facts, a criminal case was also registered against the petitioner. Ultimately, the petitioner was acquitted in the criminal case. Thereafter, against the order of punishment in the disciplinary proceedings, the petitioner filed Ext.P7 review petition before the 1st respondent. Although, by Ext.P8, receipt of the same has been acknowledged as early as on 4.12.2009, Ext.P7 remains undisposed of even today, is the grievance of the petitioner. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P7 expeditiously. Having heard the learned Government Pleader also, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P7, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner.
