Counsel for the petitioner submitted that appeal was filed in February, 2006. Asst. Solicitor General appearing for the respondent submitted that office of the Commissioner of Appeals at Trivandrum is vacant and the Commissioner at Coimbatore is holding additional charge. I do not think there is any difficulty for the Commissioner at Coimbatore to hold a camp sitting at Trivandrum, hear the petitioner and dispose of the appeal. In the circumstances, W.P. is disposed of with direction to the Commissioner in charge of the respondent's office to hear the petitioner and dispose of the appeal filed by the petitioner within six weeks from the date of production of a copy of this judgment by the petitioner.
