R1 TO R3 BY ADV.MR.JOHNSON P.JOHN,S.C., K.S.R.T.C. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 05/01/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C. KURIAKOSE,J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C)No.32435 of 2006 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated: 5th January, 2007 JUDGMENT Subsequent to the filing of the Writ Petition, the petitioner has preferred Ext.P4 appeal before the Managing Director, K.S.R.T.C. Ext.P4 is produced along with I.A.No.17533/06. Mr.P.M.Pareeth, counsel for the petitioner submits that since the 4th respondent has already forwarded a very adverse report against the petitioner, no useful purpose will be served by Ext.P4 appeal. Learned counsel therefore wanted me to pass an interim order directing an early disposal of the appeal. I am of the view that since Ext.P4 has been preferred by the petitioner against the order impugned in this case, it is for the Managing Director of the K.S.R.T.C. to dispose of that appeal. Accordingly, this Writ Petition will stand disposed of in the following terms: The Managing Director, K.S.R.T.C. will take up Ext.P4 appeal, consider the same in the light of the various grounds raised in the Writ Petition, hear the petitioner and also the 4th respondent and take a decision on Ext.P4 at his earliest and at any rate within two months of receiving a copy of this judgment. Once decision is taken, a copy of the order will be furnished to the petitioner without delay. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE W.P.C.No. - 2 -
