-1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 9028 OF 2010 S. Durai ....Petitioner vs. Union of India & others ... Respondents Mr. V. Mishra, instructed by M/s. V. Mishra & Co., for the petitioner. None for the respondent. CORAM: P.B. MAJMUDAR & MRS. MRIDULA BHATKAR , JJ. DATE: DECEMBER 16, 2010. P.C. The grievance of the petitioner is that the appeal which is pending before the appropriate authority is not yet decided. It is submitted that the appeal is filed against the order of the disciplinary authority removing the petitioner from the services. The leaned counsel for the petitioner submits that the appeal is filed in July, 2010. 2. In our view, it cannot be said that the appeal is pending before the appropriate authority since long and it is only filed in July, 2010. However, considering the fact that the appeal is in connection with the removal of the petitioner from the services of the respondents, we direct the appellate authority to dispose of the said appeal expeditiously, and in any case before 30th June, -2- 2011. Since the petitioner is already removed and his appeal is pending, at this stage no interim relief as prayed for in the petition can be granted. Rest of the prayers are, therefore, rejected. 3. Subject to what is stated above, the petition is disposed of. P. B. MAJMUDAR, J. MRS. MRIDULA BHATKAR, J.
