ORDER

Mr.P.T.Ramkumar, the learned Standing Counsel (Railway) takes notice on behalf of the respondents.

2. The grievance of the petitioner in this case is that though he has filed statutory appeal against the penalty imposed on him in a disciplinary proceeding, which is pending with the sole respondent, but no decision on the same has been taken yet. Hence, he has come to file the writ petition seeking a direction to the respondent to dispose of the appeal within a stipulated period.

3. The learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent, submits that the respondent shall have no objection to dispose of the same within the stipulated period, if the same is pending yet.

the direction to the sole respondent to dispose of the appeal dated 26.10.2016 of the petitioner, if the same is pending, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this Order, if there is no other legal impediment in such disposal. However, it is made clear that this Court has expressed no opinion on merits of such appeal of the petitioner in any manner. No costs.
