His appointment is regularised in the year 1994 and he has been working as Shroff till now. Petitioner was sought to be reverted back to the post of Peon with effect from 1.8.1994. He is now transferred to the Head Office as a Peon. He is being compelled to work as Peon and to appear in uniform. Petitioner challenged the decision of the Managing Committee. The fourth respondent issued Ext.P5 order dated 3.6.2007 staying further proceedings pursuant to the decision of the Managing Committee. According to the learned counsel for the Bank, the order is already implemented. This is disputed by the petitioner. 2. I heard learned Government Pleader also. The writ petition is disposed of as follows: Petitioner has to approach the fourth respondent, who after hearing the petitioner and the respondent Bank will take a decision in WPC. 18561/07. 2 the matter in accordance with law. I feel that a time limit can be fixed for disposal of Ext.P4. There will be a further direction to the fourth respondent to take a decision on the proceedings filed by the petitioner before the fourth respondent after affording an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and the respondent Bank within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
