THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No.7709 of 2007 Dated: 16.4.2007 Between: K.S.R.C.Murthy. .... PETITIONER AND The Chief Regional Manager, New India Assurance Co., Limited, Pavan Paradise, Dwarakanagar, Visakhapatnam and another. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION NO.7709 of 2007 Order: This writ petition is filed seeking to declare the proceedings dated 7.11.2006 of the 1st respondent dismissing the petitioner from service as arbitrary and illegal. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned standing counsel for the respondent Company and at their request the matter is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage itself. The petitioner joined the respondent Organisation in the year 1977 and is working as a Development Officer. He was issued with a charge sheet on 18.6.2004 alleging that he has committed acts of omission and commission amounting to misconduct in terms of General Insurance (Conduct, Discipline & Appeal) Rules, 1975 as amended up to date while he was working at Srikakulam DO during the year 2003. He was asked to give his explanation. On the ground that the respondents have not supplied him the relevant documents to enable him to file his explanation, the petitioner filed W.P.No.17203 of 2005 before this Court and during the pendency of the said writ petition, the respondents have passed the impugned order dismissing him from service. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner preferred an appeal before the 2nd respondent on 15.12.2006 and the same is still pending. The only grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that though he has filed the appeal on 15.12.2006, the 2nd respondent has not disposed of the same till now. In the circumstances, without going into the merits of the case, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to dispose of the appeal said to have been preferred by the petitioner on 15.12.2006 as expeditiously as possible, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 16.04.2007 Note: Furnish CC by tomorrow msv.
