The appeal was filed in the month of October 2005. 2. The grievance of the writ petitioner is that the appeal, preferred by him, has not been considered so far, as his one increment is being barred with cumulative effect and prays that a direction may be issued to dispose of the appeal immediately, considering that he is a person, who sustained injuries in an accident and is working as junior most in the category of Junior Assistant of the first respondent, Union, without any benefits or promotion. 3. I heard the leaned counsel for the respondents W.P.(C).31569/2006 2 1 and 2. In the above facts situation, I direct the second respondent, the Managing Director, to dispose of the appeal preferred by the writ petitioner as expeditiously as possible, in any case, within one month from the date of production of a copy of this judgment, before him. The writ petition is disposed of as above. J.M.JAMES JUDGE mrcs
