CWP No.377 of 2008. 19.3.2008. Present: Ms.Ranjna Parmar, counsel for the petitioner. Mr.R.K. Bawa, Advocate General, with Mr.J.K. Verma, Dy.A.G., for respondent No.3. The petitioner, who is already retired, was punished after charge-sheet issued by the Administrator. Aggrieved by the same, an appeal was filed, which, according to the petitioner, is pending for the last one year. May be for the reasons known to the petitioner, he got panic in filing and challenging the same order of punishment which is already subjudice before the Appellate Authority. Accordingly, this writ petition is not maintainable. However, since the petitioner has given best of his period of life to the Department concerned, we hope and trust, if an application to expedite the appeal is moved, the same would be considered and appropriate orders shall be passed in accordance with law. With these observations, this writ petition is disposed of. It is further clarified that this court has not looked into the merits of the case, which would be looked into by the Appellate Authority.
