By Ext.P1 order issued by the 2nd respondent, he has been placed under suspension, on allegations of misconduct. It is seen that aggrieved by Ext.P1, he has filed Ext.P12 appeal before the 3rd respondent. This appeal is pending and it is in the meanwhile challenging Ext.P1, the writ petition is filed. 2. Having regard to the fact that the statutory remedy has already been invoked as evidenced by Ext.P12, I do not think that this Court need consider the contentions raised by the petitioner on the merits of the controversy. Therefore, I dispose of this writ petition directing the 3rd respondent to dispose of Ext.P12, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 6 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition.
