ARAVINDKUMAR BABU THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 01/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. -------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO.16837 OF 2010 (D) -------------------------------------------------- Dated this the Ist day of June, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is working as a Peon in the first respondent Panchayat. Pursuant to the disciplinary proceedings, he was placed under suspension by Ext.P6. Aggrieved by Ext.P6 he has filed Ext.P7 appeal to the 3rd respondent. It is stated that the appeal is pending. 2. In this writ petition although the petitioner is challenging Ext.P6 itself, having regard to the pendency of the appeal I do not think that it is necessary for this court to consider the contentions on the merit. In the circumstances I dispose of this writ petition directing the 3rd respondent to consider Ext.P7 appeal and pass orders thereon, if the same has been received and is still pending. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 6 weeks from the date of production of a copy of the judgment. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/ WPC.No. /09 :2 :
