P. (C) No. 623 of 2023 ----------------------------------- Dated this the 4th day of March 2024 JUDGMENT The petitioner states that he joined the service of the Regional Cancer Centre as helper in the year 1987. While in service he was served with Ext. P1 order barring his increment with cumulative effect. Being aggrieved by that, the petitioner had submitted Ext. P2 appeal which was rejected by Ext. P3. Thereafter, the petitioner had preferred Ext. P5 second appeal before the 3rd respondent, which is pending. It is in the said circumstances that the petitioner has approached this Court seeking the following reliefs: i) To issue a writ of certiorari or any other appropriate writ direction or order quashing Exhibits P1 and P3 orders.
ii) To issue a writ of mandamus commanding the 3rd respondent to consider and pass orders on Exhibit P5 after affording the petitioner an opportunity of being heard. 2. The learned Government Pleader submitted that if Ext. P5 is pending, the same can be taken up and considered without delay. 3. It is seen from the records that Ext. P5 second appeal was filed as early as on 23. 6. 2022. 4. In that view of the matter, this writ petition is disposed of, directing the 3rd respondent to take up, consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext. P5, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Before passing orders, an opportunity of hearing shall be afforded to the petitioner.
