JUDGMENT The petitioner is working as a Deputy Transport Commissioner, North Zone, Kozhikode. Disciplinary action was initiated against the petitioner as per Ext.P1 memo of charges. According to the petitioner though she had submitted Ext.P2 written statement of defence, without considering the same a punishment has been imposed on her of barring increments for two years without cumulative effect as per Ext.P3 Govt. Order. Aggrieved by the punishment imposed on her, the petitioner has submitted a review petition, Ext.P4 to the respondent. The petitioner seeks the issue of appropriate directions for the consideration and disposal of Ext.P4, in view of the fact that she is about to retire on 31-3-2012. 2. I have heard the learned Govt. Pleader also. 3. In view of the limited relief claimed, it is sufficient that this writ petition is disposed of directing Ext.P4 to be considered. 4. This writ petition is accordingly disposed of directing the respondent to consider the review petition filed by the petitioner, WPC 33219/2011 2 evidenced herein by Ext.P4, in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
