This order was passed after a show cause notice dated 19.1.2008. Against the order of suspension, the petitioner preferred an appeal on 11.7.2008 to the 1st respondent and claims to have prayed for interim stay of the order of suspension pending enquiry. The petitioner is essentially aggrieved that the first respondent has not disposed of the appeal or at least the application for interim relief, expeditiously. As the petitioner has already preferred an appeal, the validity of the order of suspension pending enquiry cannot be considered in this writ petition. If the petitioner has preferred an appeal on 11.7.2008, as claimed in the writ petition and has filed therewith an application for interim relief, the 1st respondent shall expeditiously consider the same and pass orders on the application for interim relief or in the main appeal itself, within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is disposed of as above at the stage of admission, after hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government pleader for Civil Supplies. There shall be no order as to costs. GODA RAGHURAM, J Date: 18.7.2008 Note: CC as soon as possible. Bo cvm
