Coram : The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice The Hon’ble Mr. Justice V.K. Ahuja, Judge For the petitioner: Mr. Bimal Gupta, Advocate. For the respondents-State: Mr. R.K. Bawa, A.G with Mr. J.K. Verma, Dy. A.G. for respondents No. 1 and 2. Mr. Ramakant Sharma, Advocate, for respondent No. 3. Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral): The issue raised in this petition pertains to disciplinary proceedings initiated against the petitioner culminating in the dismissal from service. Though it has a chequered history, in the nature of view we propose to take, it is not necessary for us to refer to the same. Ultimate grievance of the petitioner is on Annexure P-17, order passed by the Managing Director of the Society. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that since the impugned order has been passed by the Managing Director of the Society, the petitioner may be permitted to approach the second respondent. Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of making it clear that in the event of the 2 petitioner approaching the second respondent against the impugned order, Annexure P-17 within a period of one month from today, the same shall be treated to have been filed in time and the second shall look into the matter after affording an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and the third respondent; and appropriate orders in accordance with law and justice in the matter shall be passed within another three months. 2. With these observations, the writ petition stands disposed of, so also the pending application(s) if any. Copy dasti. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice (Justice V.K. Ahuja), December 14, 2010 Judge (BSS/pankaj)
