RAVIKUMAR, J - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C)No. 36485 OF 2010 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 13th day of December, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner who is working as an Accountant under the second respondent was placed under suspension alleging certain misconduct. Subsequently, domestic enquiry was conducted against her and that ultimately culminated in Ext.P7 order. Ext.P7 is an order of punishment imposing withholding of two increments without cumulative effect. As per the same it was also ordered to treat the suspension period as eligible leave. The petitioner has unsuccessfully attempted an appeal against the same. This writ petition has been filed on being aggrieved by the inaction on the part of the 4th respondent in not taking appropriate action on Ext.P13 representation submitted against the aforesaid order. According to the petitioner the said representation has been filed under Rule 176 of the Kerala Co-operative Societies Rules. 2. I have heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner as also the learned Government Pleader. WPC.No.36485/2010 : 2 : Considering the fact that Ext.P13 representation has been preferred by the petitioner before the 4th respondent and it is pending before the 4th respondent, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent to consider the same in accordance with law and pass orders thereon expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. It is made clear that this Court has not made any observation with respect to the merits of the contentions raised in this writ petition as also regarding the maintainability of Ext.P13 representation under Rule 176 of the Kerala Cooperative Societies Rules.
