2.In view of the fact that the income tax assessment statement had not been filed, his salary was withheld. The bill presented without income tax assessment statement for the financial year 201213 was audited by the Treasury. Thereafter, the writ petitioner had submitted the income tax assessment statement on 17.03.2014 to the Office of the Joint Director of Agriculture, Thoothukudi and the bill was presented to the Treasury on 26.03.2014 and the same was passed by the Treasury on 27.03.2014 itself. Without even informing the fact, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the writ petitioner submitted that the petition may be allowed, since the petition is pending before this Court for the past more than six years. Such a behaviour of the writ petitioner, who was working as an Assistant Seed Officer cannot be appreciated. The litigants once the issues are settled and the grievances are redressed, they are expected to inform the same to their counsel immediately and before the Court enabling this Court to dispose of the matter and to avoid unnecessary pendency. However, the fact is now brought before this Court by the learned Government Advocate and the letter issued by the Joint Director of Agriculture, dated 01.04.2014 is also placed before this Court.
