Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner has filed departmental appeal on 13.1.2011 against the order dated 5.11.2009 passed by the Disciplinary Authority. The said appeal has been filed in terms of the permission granted by this Court in CWP No.16918 of 2010 which was dismissed as withdrawn on 20.9.2010. It is now alleged that the petitioner's appeal is not being decided by the Appellate Authority. Keeping in view the nature of relief sought by the petitioner, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the Appellate Authority-cum-Ministe-in-Charge of the Department to decide the petitioner's appeal by passing a speaking order, as early as possible and CWP No.12258 of 2011 [2] preferably within a period of six months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. August 23, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
