ASST.SG. SRI. T.P.M.IBRAHIM KHAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 13/08/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. -------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO.25482 OF 2010(I) -------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 13th day of August, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner was an ASI in the CISF Unit, NMPT, Mangalore. Pursuant to a memo of charge issued on 22.4.2010, an enquiry was held against the petitioner and by Ext.P11 final order issued on 28th June, 2010, he has been removed from service. At that time he was due to retire from service on 30th June, 2010. 2. Aggrieved by Ext.P11 order, petitioner has filed Ext.P13 appeal under Rule 46 of the CISF Rules, 2001. The appeal is pending consideration of the first respondent. Although, the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner had blemishless service of almost 40 years and that the punishment imposed on the eve of his retirement is at any rate, disproportionate to the gravity of the misconducts, having regard to the statutory appellate remedy availed of by the petitioner, it is unnecessary to consider those contentions. 3. In view of the above, without expressing anything on merits, the writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to dispose of Ext.P13 appeal with notice to the WPC.No. 25482 /2010 :2 : petitioner, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 8 weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment along with a copy of this writ petition. Petitioner to produce a copy of the judgment along with a copy of the writ petition. ` (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/
