Mr.Dhanush
Let us be very frank, as such employees against whom DP was pending (in case of your appeal), even if some writ is filed, most of the judges wanted to relieve themselves by dismissing the case mostly, unless there is some involved with principles of natural justice.If they are kind enough, they may at the most direct employer to take action within a time frame. So, after exploring all the possibilities only, you have to go ultimately for a writ. Please contact local advocate who is experienced in such labor relations and everything depends on the gravity of the charges..
The employee should neither hurt the employer as resorting to court is not taken leniently by the employer and particularly at the time of promotion.
I can only suggest two things 1.A gentle reminder as to the grievance petition in pgrms for employees. and filing RTI Application to the Appellate Authority seeking reasons for the abnormal delay (you have not informed the months of delay)
I personally feel that you should have more patience and must exercise restraint. Be cautious at every step and give sufficient time to the Appellate Authority and never take any wrong step as the situation is delicate and no authority likes to be questioned, whatever serious the situation was due to his negligence. At this stage promotion is not that important, coming out with a clean chit, stainless is more important so that you can get the promotion even during the next chance. (There is an old proverb: "if your robes are on thorns, you should be careful in getting the robe back as slight negligence may cause loss)
