The 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 Office Order issued by the Respondent No.3 whereby the services of petitioner have been terminated and order dated 18.7.2008 Annexure P-8 whereby the appeal has been rejected summarily without giving any reasons. (ii) That a writ in the nature of Mandamus or any other appropriate writ or direction may be issued directing - 2 - the Respondent No.2 to decide the appeal after taking into consideration the entire facts and circumstances of the case and by passing a speaking order. 2. Having heard learned counsel on both the sides, we find that the Appellate Authority has not adverted to the contentions taken by the petitioner while passing the order in appeal. Therefore, we set-aside the appeal-order, Annexure P-8. There will be a direction to the Appellate Authority to pass fresh orders in the matter adverting to all the contentions taken by the petitioner. This shall be done within a period of two months from the date of production of copy of this judgment. In case, the petitioner wants opportunity for hearing, the same shall also be granted. 3. With these observations, the writ petition is disposed of, so also the pending application(s), if any. Copy Dasti. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice. August 17, 2010.
