The petitioner states that against the order of the second respondent dated 30.10.2004 he preferred an appeal before the first respondent on 29.11.2004 along with an application seeking suspension of the impugned order, but the same has not been considered by the first respondent so far and no orders have been passed even on his application for interim suspension. As can be seen from the material on record, the appeal, numbered as D4/1582/2004, was filed by the petitioner on 29.11.2004. In the circumstances, the first respondent ought to have considered the application for interim suspension filed by the petitioner and ought to have passed appropriate orders expeditiously. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to dispose of the application for interim suspension of the order of the second respondent dated 30.10.2004 filed by the petitioner in appeal No.D4/1582/2004 within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of this order.
