Petitioner has approached this Court questioning the sustainability of order dated 26.2.2010 (Annexure-1) passed by respondent Managing Director whereby he was dismissed from the service in terms of relevant Regulation/Rules governing the respondent Bank.

It is agreed at Bar that the relevant Rule/Regulation governing the Bank provides an appeal against the order of dismissal. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner would be satisfied if this Court directs expeditious 2 disposal of the appeal preferred by the petitioner. Learned counsel for the respondent Bank, in view of the aforesaid stand taken by the petitioner, does not object thereto. Having heard the parties, this Court disposes of the application by the following order: Let the appeal of the petitioner, which is said to be pending, be disposed of by the competent/concerned authority of the Bank within a period of three months from the date of receipt/communication of a copy of this order. Learned counsel for the petitioner assures the Court that the petitioner shall cooperate in expeditious disposal of the appeal by promptly responding the queries, if any, to be made by the Appellate Court. pkj ( Kishore K.
