BY SC SRI.S.KRISHNAKUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 27/06/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J ------------------- W.P.(C).19363/2008 -------------------- Dated this the 27th day of June, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner is aggrieved by Ext.P2 audit objection and the proposal on the part of the respondents to effect recovery pursuant thereto. In my view, this issue can be considered by the Managing Director or by the Board itself. In the result, after hearing the counsel on both sides and the Standing Counsel for the Water Authority, writ petition is disposed of permitting the petitioner to challenge Ext.P2 before the first respondent, Managing Director. If a representation is filed in this regard within three weeks from today, Managing Director should take a decision thereon, after hearing the petitioner, within four months thereafter. Recovery pursuant to Ext.P2 shall be kept in abeyance till the Managing Director takes a decision as aforementioned. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
