O R D E R

Mrs.R.Janaki, learned Additional Government Pleader accepts notice on behalf of the respondents.

2. The grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that the first respondent has passed an order in G.O.(D) No.502 Municipal Administration and Water Supply (ME4) Department dated 27.12.2017 imposing the penalty of "Dismissal from service" on him. Though the petitioner has preferred a review on 23.03.2018 before the first respondent but the same is pending without any relief of subsistence allowance also hence, the petitioner came to file this writ petition seeking a direction to the first https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

respondent to dispose of the revision petition within a stipulated time.

3. Considering the nature of relief sought for no useful purpose is going to be served by keeping the writ petition pending seeking reply affidavit of the respondents. The learned counsel for the respondents also submits that the revision petition filed by the petitioner shall be considered and disposed of by the first respondent in accordance with law within a reasonable period, if the same is pending.

4. Considering the aforesaid facts and also submissions made, this Court disposes of this writ petition with the direction to the first respondent to dispose of the revision petition filed by the petitioner in accordance with law, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this Order. But, it is made clear that this Court has not expressed any opinion on the merit of such revision petition. However, in the circumstances there shall be no order as to costs.
