Order
(Order of the Court was made by S.M.Subramaniam J.) The present writ of mandamus has been instituted seeking a direction to the first respondent to pass orders on the appeal submitted by the petitioner on 11.06.2026 challenging the order of punishment dated 17.04.2026.
2. Issuing a direction to dispose of the appeal within a timeline by the authority may cause prejudice to the interest of other persons, who have filed appeals and waiting for disposal of their respective appeal. There may be several appeals which may be pending in the High Court and all those appeals are to be considered in the order of seniority and priority may be given only in exceptional cases. However, the appellate authority is expected to dispose of the appeal within a reasonable time without any undue delay. Courts issuing a direction fixing timeline is unnecessary since the disposal of other appeals will get delayed. That being the factum, the first respondent is directed to dispose of the appeal in the order of seniority as expeditiously as possible. With the above direction, the writ petition stands disposed of. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed. (S.M.S.,J.)
