3.The grievance of the petitioner is that though the second respondent has issued a notice of enquiry on several occasions and the petitioner has also attended the said enquiry, till this date, the second respondent has not passed any final order. 4.This Court, at this stage, is not expressing any view on the merits of the claim made by the petitioner, as it is for the second respondent to consider and decide. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of, by directing the second respondent to dispose of the appeal/representation of the petitioner on merits and in accordance with law, after giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, fourth respondent and other interested parties if any, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, if the said appeal/representation is not yet disposed of. No costs. Sd/- Assistant Registrar(CS VI) //True Copy// Sub Assistant Registrar vri To 1.The District Collector, Kancheepuram District, Kancheepuram.
