Mr. S.S.Deshmukh for the Respondent Nos.1 and 2 Ms.S.S.Bhende, AGP for Respondent No.3 Not on board. On production taken on board. CORAM:- A.M.KHANWILKAR & R.Y.GANOO, JJ. DATED:- 12th AUGUST, 2011. P.C. 1. In view of the fact that the petitioner has resorted to remedy of statutory appeal we refrain to exercise writ jurisdiction as no case has been made out in the petition that the Judge who is going to preside as Appellate Authority is biased against the petitioner. 2 2. Counsel appearing for the respondent on instructions states that the Appellate Authority would ensure that the appeal is decided as expeditiously as possible and in any case not later than 30th August, 2011 provided the petitioner extends full co-operation to the Appellate Authority for early disposal thereof. 3. The petitioner undertakes to offer complete co-operation to the Appellate Authority. That undertaking is accepted. Counsel for the petitioner submits that in the meantime the repsondent should not precipitate the matter by appointing some third person in the vacancy in the post of Deputy Welfare Commissioner. If the petitioner succeeds in the appeal, it will be open for the petitioner to take exception to such appointment or denial of the appointment of the petitioner on the said post inspite of being eligible to be considered for the said post. All questions in that behalf are kept open. (R.Y.GANOO, J.) (A.M.KHANWILKAR, J.)
