Feeling aggrieved, he has approached the second respondent and Ext.P6 filed by him against the order of suspension is pending with the second respondent. 2. Having regard to the facts and circumstances stated in Ext.P6 it is necessary that the second respondent shall consider Ext.P6 and take appropriate decision as early as possible, contends the counsel for the petitioner. 3. Ext.P6 is a statutory representation filed in the form of appeal under Rule 22 of the Kerala Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules and therefore, the second respondent shall dispose of the same in accordance with law without delay. 4. Having heard counsel for the petitioner and Government Pleader for respondents 1 to 6, I am inclined to dispose of the writ petition fixing a time limit for passing orders on Ext.P6. W.P.(C) No.6707/2007 2 Accordingly the second respondent is directed to consider Ext.P6 on merits and dispose of the same in accordance with law within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment.
