They failed to attend the cluster meetings which according to the petitioners were because of unavoidable reasons which are explained in the writ petition. However disciplinary proceedings were initiated against them in respect of the same, which ultimately culminated in Exts.P8 & P8 (a) orders imposing punishment of censure on the petitioners. Against the same, petitioners have filed Exts.P9 & P10 appeals before the 1st respondent. Petitioners seek a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P9 & P10 as expeditiously as possible. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P9 & P10 as expeditiously W.P.(C)No.28065 of 2010 -2- as possible, at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioners as well as the 3rd respondent.
