1. This appeal is filed to challenge ex-parte ad interim order dated September 21, 2011 as also the confirmation order passed on December 30, 2011.
2. Grievance of the appellant is that even after expiry of almost two years from the date of ex-parte ad-interim order, neither the investigation has been completed nor any final order has been passed and continuation of the impugned orders has caused serious prejudice to the appellant.
3. Learned counsel for respondent on instruction states that final order after issuing show cause notice and after hearing the appellant would be passed within a period of eight weeks from today. He further states on instruction that the respondent would not seek any extension of time in the matter.
4. Learned Counsel for the appellant states that he would co-operate in the matter and would not seek any adjournment.
5. The statement made by the learned counsel for the parties is accepted. It is made clear that if the respondent fails to issue a show cause notice and pass final order within the time stipulated hereinabove, ad-interim order dated September 21, 2011 as also the confirmation order dated December 30, 2011 shall stand vacated against the appellant.
Appeal is disposed of in the above terms with no order as to costs.
