By consent of both sides, the Writ Petition is taken up for final disposal at the stage of admission itself. 2. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondents. 3. The petitioner has come up with the present Writ Petition for a Mandamus, directing the first respondent to dispose of the appeal dated 22.06.2011 pending before him. 4. The case of the petitioner is that he was appointed as a Supervisor on contract basis within the jurisdiction of the first respondent. On 24.02.2010, when he was working as Supervisor in Shop No.6659 at Kaypparai, the second respondent visited the shop and levelled certain charges against him. The https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 second respondent has also suspended him from service. Later, charge memo was issued to him, for which, he has offered his explanation. However, without considering the explanation offered by the petitioner, the second respondent dismissed him from service, by an order dated 23.05.2011. The petitioner, therefore, preferred an appeal before the first respondent. But, however, the appeal has not been disposed of so far. Hence, the petitioner has come up with the present Writ Petition for the reliefs stated earlier. 5. Considering the limited scope of the matter, without expressing any opinion on the claim made by the petitioner, I direct the first respondent to dispose of the appeal preferred by the petitioner dated 22.06.2011, on merits and in accordance with law, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 6. The Writ Petition stands ordered accordingly. No costs.
