He was imposed a punishment of removal from service through the proceedings dated 19.05.1993. In the appeal dated 29.05.1993 preferred by the petitioner before the Divisional Manager the punishment was modified through order dated 26.07.1993 by setting aside the order of removal from service. He was directed to be reinstated into service with immediate effect by treating the out of service period as not on duty and imposing a punishment of reduction of two incremental stages for a period of two years which shall have effect on future increments. The petitioner was reinstated into service by implementing the order of the Appellate Authority dated 26.07.1993. The grievance of the petitioner is that though the punishment of reduction of two increments was effected, his future increments accrued in the subsequent years are not being released. Therefore, the petitioner submitted a representation on 09.11.2000 and no orders have been passed by the respondent corporation on the said representation till now. He, therefore, approached this Court seeking a direction to the respondent to pass appropriate orders on his representation. Having regard to the circumstances mentioned above, the second respondent is directed to pass appropriate orders on the representation of the petitioner dated 09.11.2000 according to the existing rules regarding the release of the increments accrued to the period subsequent to the reinstatement after reduction of two annual increments. If the representation of the petitioner is not available the petitioner is directed to submit a fresh representation and the second respondent shall pass appropriate orders on the said representation within two months from the date of receipt of this order. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. __________________ Dr. G.
