The grievance of the petitioner in the present Writ Petition is despite lapse of considerable length of time, no action so far has been taken by the 1st respondent in the direction of disposing of the statutory appeal preferred by him and in view of the same, the petitioner herein is sustaining irreparable loss and hardship.
