3.A question was put to the learned Counsel for the petitioner as to why the said persons were not impleaded as respondents. Learned Counsel submits that even before the second respondent, enquiry has been conducted and notices have been issued to the said persons and therefore, no prejudice would be caused by seeking a direction to dispose of the petitioner's representation. 4.Considering the fact that the second respondent is seized of the matter, a direction is issued to the second respondent to conclude the pending enquiry proceedings, after affording a fair opportunity to the petitioner and also other interested parties and pass final orders within a period of eight [8] weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

5.Accordingly, this Writ Petition stands disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.
