HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.20778 of 2010 ORDER: It appears the petitioner, while working as a Security Guard in the respondent-corporation, was involved in a theft case. A regular enquiry was conducted and he was removed from service vide proceedings No.AD(V&S)/19(6)VSP/6, dated 31/05/2006, which was confirmed by the appellate authority by an order dated 17/10/2006. Now the grievance of the petitioner is that in the meanwhile, he was also acquitted in the criminal case and therefore, filed a mercy appeal dated 14/10/2009 before the second respondent and the same is pending. In view of the above, without expressing any opinion on merits, the second respondent is directed to dispose of the mercy appeal purported to have been filed by the petitioner on 14/10/2009 and pass appropriate orders as per law, within a period of six (6) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. __________________ JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU 20th August, 2010 NOTE: Furnish C.C. by two weeks. B/o. SKM
