HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.31270 OF 2010 Between: Degala Ramu …. Petitioner and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited, rep. By its Executive Director/Director Marketing and others …. Respondents This court made the following: HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.31270 OF 2010 ORDER: The petitioner was appointed as Assistant/Filler by Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited in the year 1987. Disciplinary proceedings were initiated against him by the 2nd respondent. Through an order, dated 02.03.2010, the 2nd respondent dismissed the petitioner from service. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioner filed an appeal before the 1st respondent on 09.04.2010. His grievance is that the appeal was not disposed of as yet. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri M.Ravindranath Reddy, learned counsel for the respondent. The petitioner was dismissed from service in March, 2010 and shortly thereafter, he availed the remedy of appeal. Though it cannot be said that there is undue delay on the part of the 1st respondent in disposing the appeal, the petitioner does have a grievance, since he is out of service. An early disposal of the appeal would attain semblance of finality to the controversy in one-way or the other. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondents to pass orders on the appeal preferred by the petitioner against the order, dated 02.03.2010, passed by the 2nd respondent, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J December 13, 2010 Note:- CC by one week {B/o} lmv
