JUDGMENT Petitioner was a Senior Clerk working under the Thiruvalla East Co-operative Bank. Disciplinary action was initiated and finally he was dismissed from service by order dated 2.3.2007. According to the petitioner, by Ext.P1 judgment rendered by this court in WP(c).No.4826/08, it was directed that if arbitration proceedings are initiated the same will be entertained, and disposed of within a period of 2 months. Petitioner submits that, by Ext.P2 he initiated arbitration proceedings before the 3rd respondent which has been numbered as ARC.No.147/08. It is stated that despite the time limit fixed, the matter has not been disposed of so far. 2. According to the petitioner, although on 29.5.2009, the ARC was finally heard and the case was WP(c).No.20175/09 2 posted on three occasions for final orders, orders have not been pronounced. It is complaining of delay in the disposal of ARC that this writ petition is filed. 3. If as stated by the petitioner the matter has already been heard, there is no reason why final orders have not been passed. This the 3rd respondent shall do as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 8 weeks from the date of production of a copy of the judgment. Writ Petition is disposed of as above.
