P.M.MANOJ THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 01/12/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Kss C.T.RAVIKUMAR, J. ---------------------------- W.P.(C)No.35840 of 2010 ---------------------------- Dated 1st December, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner was the Chief Accountant under the second respondent bank. While he was in service disciplinary action was initiated against him and that ultimately culminated in his dismissal from service. Challenging the order of dismissal the petitioner has filed ARC.No.74 of 2009 which is still pending before the first respondent. He has also filed yet another ARC viz., ARC.No.39 of 2009. The said dispute was raised to redress the grievance regarding promotion. In view of the fact that ARC.Nos.39 and 74 of 2009 are pending before the first respondent I do not think it necessary to consider the contentions raised in this writ petition on merits. In fact, the grievance of the petitioner is only with respect to the inordinate delay in the matter of disposal of the aforesaid arbitration cases. The petitioner is now aged 55 years. His contention is that he has no other means to pull on with his life. Considering all these circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to dispose of ARC.Nos.39 and 74 of 2009 in accordance with law, expeditiously, at any rate within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
