They initiated disciplinary proceedings against the 3rd respondent and suspended the 3rd respondent pending enquiry. Thereafter, the 3rd respondent was imposed with the punishment of dismissal from service. The 3rd respondent challenged the same before the 2nd respondent, who held that the enquiry was invalid and directed a fresh enquiry to be conducted and at the same time, directed reinstatement of the 3rd respondent. The petitioner filed Ext.P6 appeal along with Ext.P7 stay petition before the 1st respondent, who is the next appellate authority. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P6 and P7 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned standing counsel appearing for respondents 1 and 2 also. In the nature of the order I propose to pass, I do not think it necessary to issue notice to the 3rd respondent. 3. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with the following directions: The 1st respondent shall consider and pass orders on Ext.P6, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within six weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment.
