JUDGMENT This writ petition is filed by the petitioner seeking for a direction to dispose of Ext.P6 appeal pending before the Director of Vocational Higher Secondary Education, the second respondent herein, against the removal of the petitioner from service. 2. The petitioner had availed of leave without allowance for a period of five years from 13.6.2005 to 12.6.2010. It is the case of the petitioner that an extension was sought for continuation of the leave period by Ext.P4 application and he was awaiting orders in the matter. Ext.P5 order shows that the management initiated disciplinary proceedings for unauthorised absence and finally he was removed from service. 3. I am not expressing anything on the merits of the matter since the appeal itself is pending before the second respondent. It is up to the parties to raise all their contentions before the second respondent. The petitioner and the Manager will be personally heard also in the matter before disposing of the appeal. Appropriate orders will be passed by the second respondent within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy wpc 21881/2011 2 of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. The petitioner will forward a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the second respondent for compliance. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
