While that being so, on 01.12.2010 the petitioner was served with an order of suspension by the second respondent alleging that he failed to collect the loan amount disbursed by him and he did not get any application forms for disbursal of the same. Before passing the order of suspension, the second respondent by an order, dated 20.09.2010, directed the Manager to recover a sum of Rs.17,629/- towards the loan amounts which remain unpaid by the creditors. The said order was passed only to make out a case for suspension. As against which, the petitioner preferred an appeal to the first respondent on 30.11.2010 and the same is pending. Aggrieved by the order of suspension, the petitioner preferred another appeal on 05.12.2010 before the first respondent and pending consideration of the same, he filed this writ petition for disposal of the same. 6. The learned Special Government Pleader at the outset submits that the appeal of the petitioner is of recent origin and therefore, without waiting for a reply from the first respondent, he rushed to this Court. However, he is not opposing for disposal of the appeal and he requests a reasonable time may be granted for the first respondent for considering the appeal. 7. In the light of the above and in view of the limited relief sought to dispose of the appeal, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the first respondent is directed to consider the appeal of the petitioner, dated 05.12.2010, and pass appropriate orders, in accordance with law and on merits, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. No costs.
