The petitioner has filed this writ petition seeking issuance of Writ of Mandamus directing the second respondent to dispose the petitioner's appeal dated 15.02.2016 in accordance with law. 2.Heard the arguments advanced on either side. 3.The case of the petitioner is that while the petitioner was working as Salesman in shop No.9525 at Hosur Village, Vandavasi Taluk, he was terminated from service vide order dated 22.01.2016 on the allegation of misappropriation. Thereafter,

the petitioner filed appeal before the second respondent on 15.02.2016 and the same has not yet been disposed of. Hence, this petition.

4.The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner lost the appeal papers and he realized about the same only this year (2019), hence, it would suffice , if this Court issues direction to the second respondent to consider the appeal filed by the petitioner and to dispose of the same.
