Challenging that order of dismissal, he filed Exhibit P4 appeal dated 6.1.207 before the second respondent. The grievance of the petitioner is that the Disciplinary Authority is unnecessarily adjourning the hearing of the appeal. After hearing both sides, I am of the view that a direction can be issued to the second respondent to consider and pass orders in Exhibit P4 appeal expeditiously. In the result, Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the second respondent to consider and pass orders on Exhibit P4 appeal expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
