JUDGMENT Petitioner submits that he was an employee of the 3rd respondent Bank. While working as Manager he was placed under suspension and while so, he attained the age of superannuation on 30.4.2009. It is stated that although disciplinary proceedings have been initiated, it has not been completed so far and as a result of which the terminal benefits that are due to him, have not been released. It is with this grievance this writ petition is filed. 2. The prayer that the petitioner seeks is a direction for the expeditious conclusion of the proceedings against him. It is stated that, though he has filed Ext.P8 before the 2nd respondent, it has not been attended to. 3. I heard the counsel appearing for the 3rd respondent and the Government Pleader appearing for respondents 1 WP(c).N.14314/09 2 and 2. 4. At this stage, having regard to the pendency of Ext.P8 before the 2nd respondent I feel that it is appropriate to direct the 2nd respondent to consider Ext.P8, dealing with the complaint raised therein. Accordingly the writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to consider Ext.P8 and pass orders thereon, on expeditious conclusion of the disciplinary proceedings, as expeditiously as possible within 6 weeks from the date of production of a copy of the judgment.
