During the pendency of the writ petition termination order dated 28.04.2005, 30.04.2005, Annexures-1, 2 remain stayed by virtue of the interim order dated 15.01.2007 passed in L.P.A.

It is evident from the statement of facts noted above that termination order passed against the 3 petitioners has come into effect in December, 2010. In December, 2010 forum of appeal against the termination order has already been provided. In the circumstances, instead of proceeding with the writ petition, I dispose of the same granting liberty to the petitioners to challenge the termination order, Annexures-1, 2 before the appellate authority in accordance with law. The appellate authority should dispose of the appeal within reasonable time of its receipt. Rajesh/ ( V. N. Sinha, J.)
