The leave was extended for a further period of five years when the petitioner was appointed once again. However, for the second spell of appointment, approval was rejected. The appeal filed against this order also met with rejection at the level of the DPI. Thereupon, the Manager and the petitioner have filed Exts.

On the aforesaid factual basis, the petitioner is seeking a direction to the 5th respondent to dispose of the revision on an expeditious basis. 2. If as stated by the petitioner, Manager and himself have filed Exts. P7 and P7(a) revisions which are statutory, it is the duty of the 5th respondent to decide the same on an expeditious basis. 3. Therefore, I direct that the 5th respondent shall dispose of Exts. P7 and P7(a) with notice to the petitioner and the Manager, as WPC 33492/08 :2 : expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 3 months of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition.
