2. The case of the petitioner is that she has been serving as Revenue Inspector from 2004 after promotion from the post of Junior Assistant. However, she suffered an order of punishment dated 31.05.2016 for recovery of a sum of Rs.88,200/- at the hands of the 2nd respondent. Aggrieved by the said order, the petitioner preferred an appeal before the 1st respondent on 02.08.2016. Since the same has not been disposed of, she has also made two remainders dated 10.3.2017 and 05.05.2017 requesting early disposal of her appeal. But, no action has been taken on the same. Hence the present Writ Petition.
