When the writ petition came up for hearing today, the learned Government Pleader appearing for the official respondents submitted on instructions that a copy of the report dated 26.8.2010 submitted by the Director of Dairy Development will be served on the petitioner immediately and that the appeal from Ext.P3 order stands adjourned by one month and was not heard on 1.2.2011. The petitioner cannot therefore have any apprehension that the appeal will be heard and disposed of before a copy of the report is served on him. In such circumstances, I dispose of the writ petition WPC No.3688/2011 2 with a direction to the first respondent to serve a copy of the report dated 26.8.2010 submitted by the Director of Dairy Development, in the matter of disqualification of Sri.K.V.Kandamuthan, on the petitioner within two weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment. The first respondent shall thereafter afford the petitioner an opportunity of being heard before passing final orders on the appeal filed by Sri.K.V.Kandamuthan.
