This Writ Petition has been filed, seeking a direction to the respondents to dispose of the Petitioner's appeal, dated 5.10.2016 within the time stipulated by this Court.
2.Mr.K.Sathiya Singh, learned Standing Counsel takes notice for the respondents 1 and 2. By consent of both parties, the Writ Petition itself is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage itself.
3.The case of the Petitioner is that the Petitioner was working as a Conductor in the respondents Corporation. While so an accident took place while he is on duty along with one Palanichamy, who is a driver-cum- conductor and he was issued with a charge memo, dated 30.5.2012 alleging negligent driving, resulted in causing damages to the bus driven by them. The Petitioner has also submitted his explanation. Being dissatisfied with the explanation, a show cause notice was issued to him calling upon him as to why punishment of increment cut for one year with cumulative effect shall not be imposed on the Petitioner and the said Palanichamy. The recovery was also effected from the salary of the Petitioner. Furthermore, no final order was passed on the disciplinary enquiry till date. Hence the petitioner has filed an appeal to the Managing Director of the respondents Corporation on 5.10.2016 and since the said appeal did not evoke any response, the petitioner is before this Court with the relief stated supra.
