(Oral) The petitioner was a Tabla Player employed by the Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee, Amritsar (for short `the SGPC'). He has been dismissed from service vide an order dated 5.12.2008 (Annexure P-1) on the basis of certain allegations which are said to have been proved by holding a departmental enquiry.

Learned counsel for the petitioner fairly states that the impugned order is appealable under the Rules. C.W.P.No .457 of 2011 2 That being so, the writ petition is disposed of at this stage with liberty to the petitioner to file a departmental appeal within a period of one month from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. It is directed that in case the petitioner files an appeal within the period stipulated above, the respondent and/or the Appellate Authority shall not raise any objection of limitation and the appeal shall be decided on merits after giving an opportunity of personal hearing to the petitioner, within a period of four months from the date of filing of the appeal. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. January 12, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
