Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner seeks a mandamus to direct respondent No.2- the Chairman-cum-Appellate Authority, Punjab State Warehousing Corporation, to decide his statutory appeal, stated to have been filed on 25.8.2009 (Annexure P-1) against the dismissal order dated 8.7.2009. The petitioner, who was serving as a Technical Assistant in the Warehousing Corporation, was dismissed from the service on 8.7.2009 after holding the departmental enquiry and that order has been impugned by him in the departmental appeal which is pending for the last more than one year. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner, however, without expressing any views on the merits of the petitioner's allegations, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to C.W.P.No .14777 of 2010 2 respondent No.2 to dispose of the petitioner's pending appeal, preferably after giving him an opportunity of personal hearing, within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. August 19, 2010 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
