The petitioner filed Ext.P6 appeal before the 2nd respondent on 19.4.2005 and thereafter, Ext.P7 appeal before the 1st respondent on 10.7.2005 as advised by the 2nd respondent since that appeal lies before the 1st respondent alone.

I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned Government Pleader. 3. In the facts and circumstances of the case, there would be a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders w.p.c.13692/07 2 on Ext.P7 appeal, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
