Ramachandran Nair, J. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ W.P.(C). No.474/2009-F ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dated this the 6th day of January, 2009 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is working as Assistant Commercial Officer. The grievance raised in the writ petition is that even though Ext.P1 memo of charges was issued on 11/12/2007, so far the action, if any, have not been finalised, which has resulted in non consideration of his case for further promotion. Ext.P1 shows that four items of charges have been raised against him. The petitioner has submitted Ext.P2 reply. It is contented that after the submission of Ext.P2 nothing further has happened in the matter. Even though the petitioner has sought for various documents in Ext.P2, all the said documents have not been given to him so far. He has yet to receive copies of documents shown as 3, 5 and 6. 2. In view of the fact that the proceedings initiated against him have not been finalised so far, there will be a direction to the second respondent to take appropriate action to finalise the same within a period of five months from the date of receipt of the copy of this judgment. The W.P.(C) No.474/2009 -:2:- second respondent should see whether the copies of the documents referred to as 3,5 and 6 in Ext.P2 are material and relevant for the purpose of the enquiry, and if that be so, the copies of the same shall also be issued to him on usual terms. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) ms
