The Joint Municipal Commissioner (General), Pune Municipal Corporation, Pune & Anr. : Respondents .... Ms Vaishali Jagdale i/b. Mr.Kishor R. Jagdale for the petitioner. .... CORAM : D.D. SINHA AND MRS.MRIDULA BHATKAR,JJ. DATE : JUNE 29, 2010. P.C.: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. 2. The grievance of the petitioner is that the petitioner was suspended from the post of Mukadam, Slaughter House Department of the Municipal Corporation, Pune. It is contended that the criminal Court acquitted the petitioner of all the charges vide judgement and order dated 21.10.2005. The petitioner, thereafter, submitted representation/application dated 9.3.2010 before the respondent no.2 requesting the respondent to treat the suspension period as duty period for all practical purposes and grant incidental benefits. It is submitted that the said application is pending before the respondent no.2 and, therefore, prays that the respondent no.2 2 may be ordered to decide the same, in accordance with law, within a stipulated period. 3. Since the decision on the application dated 9.3.2010 is required to be taken by the respondent no.2, we are disposing of the petition without adjudicating upon any of the issues raised in the petition. 4. The petition is disposed of accordingly. The respondent no.2 is directed to decide the application dated 9.3.2010 submitted by the petitioner, if not decided earlier, in accordance with law and procedure applicable in this regard within a period of three months from the date of communication of this order. The petitioner is directed to communicate this order to the respondent no.2. (D.D. SINHA, J.) (MRS.MRIDULA BHATKAR,J.)
