THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 18118 OF 2008 O R D E R: The petitioner is working as Constable/Safaiwala in the Railway Protection Force. Through an order, dated 29.10.2007, passed by the Deputy Chief Security Commissioner, the punishment of reduction in payscale was imposed, against the petitioner. Aggrieved thereby, he presented an appeal before the respondent, on 21.4.2008. His grievance is that the appeal has not been disposed of, so far. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for respondent. Strictly speaking, the petitioner cannot be said to have any grievance or cause of action. The reason is that the petitioner has taken about six months to present the appeal, and at the same time insisting that the respondent should have attended to it, immediately. Further, it cannot be said that there was undue delay, on the part of the respondent, in disposing of the same. Be that as it may, the previous record of the petitioner discloses that several proceedings ensued, in one form or the other. The disposal of the appeal pending before the respondent would, to certain extent, give a quietus to the controversy. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondent to pass orders on the appeal preferred by the petitioner, within a period of three months, from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________ 25th August 2008 PAN
