On termination of his appointment, petitioner filed Ext.P6 appeal before the additional 5th respondent. It is stated that appeal is still pending. Petitioner apprehends that in the meantime, fresh notification will be invited for -appointment of ARD. It is with this apprehension, the writ petition is filed. 2. If as stated by the petitioner, the appeal is still pending, in my view, it is premature to invite fresh notification. This is for the further reason that temporary arrangement has already been made. 3. In that view of the matter, writ petition is disposed of with the following directions; (1) That the additional 5th respondent, before whom Ext.P6 appeal is pending, shall dispose of Ext.P6 with notice to the petitioner and 4th respondent and as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within six weeks of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition. WPC No. 26368/10 :2 : (2) In the meantime, steps for making fresh appointment of ARD No.157 of Karungapally Taluk will be kept in abeyance. (3) Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition before the additional 5th respondent and respondents 2 and 3 for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
