Respondents Coram: The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice The Hon’ble Mr.Justice V.K.Ahuja, Judge Whether approved for reporting? For the petitioner: Mr.Onkar Jairath, Advocate. For the respondents: Mr.Adarsh Sharma, Advocate. Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J.(Oral) CMP No.935 of 2010: Allowed. CWP No.599 of 2010: The writ petitioner has filed the writ petition with the following prayers: i) That a writ in the nature of certiorari may kindly be issued against the respondents by quashing and setting aside the impugned order dated 1.10.2009 Annexure PH, Memo. dated 1.10.2009 Annexure PI and office order dated 29.1.2010. ii) That a writ in the nature of mandamus may kindly be issued directing the respondents to re-engage the petitioner on the post of TMPA on which post the petitioner was already working, with all consequential benefits. 2 One of the main contentions taken by the petitioner is that he has been punished twice for one and the same charge. There are other grounds as well. Since the petitioner has pursued his statutory remedy of appeal and since the appeal is now pending before the second respondent, we do not think that we should advert to the merits of the writ petition. Therefore, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, we dispose of the writ petition with the direction to the second respondent to consider Annexure P-M appeal by adverting to the contentions taken by the petitioner and pass a reasoned order. This shall be done within a period of one month from the date of production of a copy of this judgment alongwith a copy of the writ petition. The writ petition stands disposed of accordingly, so also the pending application(s), if any. Dasti copy. ( Justice Kurian Joseph) Chief Justice. March 4, 2010 (V.K.Ahuja) (trs/bss) Judge
