MANOJKUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 18/08/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. -------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO.25050 OF 2010(E) -------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 18th day of August, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is a Junior Superintendent in the Treasury Department. He was placed under suspension from 20th March, 2009. Thereafter the suspension was revoked on 15.10.2009 and was posted at Chalakkudy. Thereupon according to the petitioner he submitted a representation requesting for a posting at Cherpu or Thrissur. However, no orders have been passed. In this writ Petition, petitioner seeks a direction to post him to either of the requested stations, to finalise the enquiry pursuant to the order of suspension that was issued and also to pay subsistence allowance for the period he was placed under suspension. 2. Learned Government Pleader who has obtained instruction in the matter submits that monetary benefits due to the petitioner have since been paid. The submission is recorded. In so far as the request of the petitioner for posting him at Cherpu is concerned, learned Government Pleader submits that as at present there is no vacancy in either of the stations and that it will be open to the WPC.No. 25050/2010 :2 : petitioner to make a representation to the Joint Director(Treasury), in which event the same will be dealt with in accordance with law. In my view, this offer made by the Government Pleader should satisfy the petitioner and therefore I leave it open to the petitioner to submit a representation as suggested. 3. In so far as the request for expeditious finalization of the enquiry is concerned, Govt. Pleader submits that already the enquiry report was received and that the same was unsatisfactory and therefore a fresh enquiry is being conducted. Since fresh enquiry is ordered it is directed that respondents will complete the disciplinary action against the petitioner at any rate within 6 months from today. Writ petition is disposed of as above (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/
