SRI.N.N.SUGUNAPALAN, SC, DOORDARSHAN FOR R1 TO 3 SRI.S.SUJIN,SC DOORDARSHAN KENDRA,TVM FOR R1 TO 3 THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 23/01/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ============== W.P.(C) NO. 1260 OF 2009 (Y) ==================== Dated this the 23rd day of January, 2009 J U D G M E N T Ext.P1 is the order dated 9/1/2009 terminating the petitioner's Stringership with the 2nd and 3rd respondent. Aggrieved by the termination ordered as per Ext.P1, it is seen that the petitioner has filed Ext.P7 appeal invoking his rights under Clause 7(iv) of the contract agreement. 2. In this writ petition, although the petitioner seeks to quash Ext.P1 and claims to be reinstated, having regard to the statutory remedy that is available, which has already been invoked by the petitioner, I feel it is only appropriate that the 1st respondent disposes of Ext.P7 appeal on an expeditious basis. 3. Regarding the time required for the disposal of the appeal, I heard the standing counsel for respondents also and taking into account his submissions also, I direct that the appeal shall be disposed of within 30 days of receipt of a copy of this judgment. 4. Petitioner has a case that substantial amounts are due to WPC 1260/09 :2 : him. This also he can urge before the 1st respondent, who shall consider that aspect also. 5. Petitioner may produce a copy of this judgment before the 1st respondent for compliance. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
