For Petitioner(s) Mr. C. S. N. Mohan Rao, Adv. Mr. Lokesh Kumar Sharma, Adv.

For Respondent(s)

UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following O R D E R

Delay condoned.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. On a perusal of the order passed by the High Court, we find that it has declined to grant terminal benefit on the foundation that the petitioner has already been removed from service.

A grievance has been made by the petitioner that he has not yet been served with the order of removal. Be that as it may, it is directed that the copy of the order of removal shall be supplied to the petitioner within a period of six weeks from the date of presentation of copy of this order before the Competent Authority and thereafter it will be open to the petitioner to challenge the order of removal. Needless to emphasise, if the order of removal is assailed before the Appellate Authority, it shall advert to the same on merits and decide within a period of three months from the date of filing and should not throw it at the threshold on the ground of limitation.

With the aforesaid observations and directions, the special leave petition stands disposed of.
