He was issued a show cause notice proposing punishment. He questioned the said show cause notice through the Writ Petition No.19306 of 1999 and the writ petition was dismissed on 07-06-2001 giving liberty to the petitioner to approach the appropriate forum against the final order-cum-show- cause notice dated 31-10-1992. Subsequently, the petitioner made applications to the first respondent on 27-11-2001 and 24-11-2003, but, the first respondent so far did not pass any order by treating it as an appeal. The petitioner, therefore, approached this Court seeking a direction to the first respondent to pass appropriate orders on the representations made by him regarding the revocation of punishment of stoppage of two increments imposed on him with cumulative effect and to fix his pay by directing payment of arrears. In the light of the submissions made by the petitioner, the first respondent is directed to pass appropriate orders on the representation of the petitioner dated 27-11-2001 and 24-11-2003 within two (2) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this Order, as per rules in force by giving personal hearing to the petitioner. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. ____________________ Dr.G.YETHIRAJULU, J. Dated: 27th October, 2004. *TSNR To 1.
