THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No. 767 OF 2011 O R D E R: The writ petitioner while working as an Assistant Accounts Officer with the Central Power Distribution Company of AP Limited, has been subjected to disciplinary proceedings, which culminated in an order passed by the Managing Director on 10.11.2005 imposing on him the punishment of 100% cut in his pension, as he has retired by the time the proceedings have come to an end. Against these orders, an appeal would lie to the Board of Directors of the company and accordingly, the writ petitioner lodged his appeal on 06.02.2006. Thereafter, several reminders have also been submitted including the one on 02.02.2009. It is asserted by the petitioner that the appeal preferred by him on 06.02.2006 has not been dealt with so far and it has not been decided as yet. It is rather unfortunate that nearly five years time has been taken to deal with the appeal said to have been preferred by the writ petitioner. It is, therefore, appropriate to direct the appellate authority of the respondent to take up for consideration the appeal said to have been preferred by the writ petitioner on 06.02.2006, if the same has not been decided so far and communicate the decision taken thereon to the writ petitioner within a maximum period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With this, the Writ Petition stands disposed of at the admission stage itself. No costs. ---------------------------------- (NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J) 24th January 2011 ksld
