For Petitioner : Mr.K.Muthuganesa Pandian For Respondents : Mr.V.Rajasekaran Special Government Pleader ORDER Mr.V.Rajasekaran, learned Special Government Pleader, takes notice on behalf of the respondents. By consent, the Writ Petition is taken up for final disposal at the stage of admission itself. 2. The petitioner has come up with the present Writ Petition for a Mandamus, directing the first respondent to take action on the revision petition filed by the petitioner dated 29.01.2010, within a time fixed by this Court. 3. The case of the petitioner is that the Managing Director of Co-optex , by an order dated 25.06.2009, awarded him punishment of compulsory retirement, even though the Inquiry Officer in the domestic enquiry has opined that there is no evidence to prove his involvement in the charges levelled against him. He preferred an appeal against the above said order before the appellate authority, viz., the Special Officer of Co-optex, who without taking into account the proportionality of the delinquency, dismissed the appeal, by order dated 26.12.2009. The petitioner, therefore, filed a revision before the first respondent. However, the said revision was not disposed of so far. Hence, the petitioner has come up with the present Writ Petition for the reliefs stated earlier. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 4.
