The petitioner has come up with the present Writ Petition praying to direct the first respondent to dispose of the petitioner's appeal dated 27/10/2010 filed against the order dated 29/9/2010 passed by the second respondent. 4. The case of the petitioner is that she has joined in the Registration Department as Section Writer. She was working as Sub- Registrar, Chathirapatty for a certain period. During that time, she https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 has registered a document by classifying it under Article 46 of the Indian Stamp Act. This raised audit objection and ultimately the authorities took the view that the documents should have been classified under Article 55 (D) (ii) of the said Act. A departmental action was proceeded against her. By an order dated 29/9/2010, the second respondent dismissed her from service. She submitted an appeal dated 27/10/2010 through the third respondent on 1/11/2010. However, the appeal was not disposed of by the first respondent. Hence, the petitioner has come up with the present writ petition praying for the relief as stated therein. 5. Considering the limited scope of the matter, without expressing any opinion on the claim made by the petitioner, I direct the first respondent to dispose of the appeal filed by the petitioner dated 27/10/2010 on merits and in accordance with law within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 6. This writ petition is ordered accordingly. No costs. Sd/- Assistant Registrar(Crl.Side) /True Copy/ Sub Assistant Registrar To 1.
