3. Heard the learned counsel on both sides and carefully perused the

¶26

entire materials available on record.

¶27

4. It is the case of the petitioner that as against the order passed by the

¶28

third respondent, an appeal has been preferred to the second respondent. Presently, the office of the second respondent is held by the person, who had passed the order which was impugned before the second respondent and therefore, the same could not be heard by the very same person, who is holding the post of the second respondent. The same is not disputed by the learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the respondents 1 and 2.

¶29

5. Considering the facts and circumstances of this case, this Court deems fit that the appeal in OA No.17 of 2015 pending on the file of the second respondent shall be transferred to the Joint Commissioner, HR&CE Department, Madurai. The second respondent is directed to transmit the files relating to the appeal in OA No.17 of 2015 to the office of the Joint Commissioner, HR&CE Department, Madurai, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. However, considering the fact that the appeal in OA No.17 of 2015 has been pending from the year 2015, the Joint Commissioner, HR&CE Department, Madurai, is directed to dispose of
