Court closes writ petition upon respondents' assurance of expeditious appeal disposal by Disciplinary Committee.

Headnote:Under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, the petitioner sought a writ of mandamus directing consideration of an appeal against a removal order issued in D.P.No.02/2022/A1 dated 24.07.2023. Essential facts involved the late husband's appeal pending with the Additional Registrar General. The court noted counsel's submission that the appeal was forwarded to the Disciplinary Committee for expeditious disposal. No further direction required. The primary issue was whether mandamus should issue for timely disposal of the appeal. The ratio decidendi rested on the respondents' assurance of forwarding the appeal to the Disciplinary Committee, rendering judicial intervention unnecessary. The writ petition is closed, with connected miscellaneous petition closed and no order as to costs.
