For Petitioner : Mr.D.Venkatesh For Respondents : Mr.K.Mahendran Special Government Pleader ORDER Mr.K.Mahendran, learned Standing Counsel, takes notice on behalf of the respondents. By consent, the Writ Petition is taken up for final disposal at the stage of admission itself. 2. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondents. 3. The petitioner has come up with the present Writ Petition for a Mandamus, directing the first respondent to dispose of his appeal dated 25.06.2011 pending before him, within a time fixed by this Court. 4. It is the case of the petitioner that he was appointed as a Salesman on contract basis within the jurisdiction of the first respondent. After joining duty, he was sincere in his duty. While so, on 24.02.2010, when he was working as a Supervisor in one of the shops of the TASMAC, the second respondent visited the shop and levelled certain charges against him. The second respondent suspended him from service and also issued a charge memo seeking his explanation. He offered his explanation. However, without considering his explanation, the second respondent has passed an order dated 23.05.2011, dismissing him from service. The petitioner, therefore, preferred an appeal https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 before the first respondent, requesting him to set aside the order of dismissal. The said appeal was not disposed of so far and hence, the petitioner has come up with the present Writ Petition for the reliefs stated earlier. 5. Considering the limited scope of the matter, without expressing any opinion on the claim made by the petitioner, I direct the first respondent to dispose of the appeal preferred by the petitioner dated 25.06.2011, on merits and in accordance with law, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 6. The Writ Petition stands ordered accordingly. No costs. Sd/- Assistant Registrar(CO) /TRUE COPY/ Sub Assistant Registrar To 1.
