IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM PRESENT : THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE V.GIRI TUESDAY, THE 29TH JULY 2008 / 7TH SRAVANA 1930 WP(C).No. 22745 of 2008(G) -------------------------- PETITIONER: ------------ K.RAJENDRAN PILLAI, ABHIJITH BHAVAN, THENOOR P.O., THENOOR VILLAGE, NEDUMANGAD TALUK, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM DISTRICT. BY ADV. SRI.D.PEETHAMBARAN SRI.PRASAD GANDHI RESPONDENT: ------------- THE SECRETARY, TRAVANCORE DEVASWOM BOARD, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. BY ADV. SRI.NAGARAJ NARAYANAN, SC, TDB THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 29/07/2008,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J ------------------- W.P.(C).22745/2008 -------------------- Dated this the 29th day of July, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner, while working as peon in the Travancore Devaswom Board, was dismissed from service after completion of the disciplinary enquiry, as evidenced by Ext.P1 order dated 16.10.1993. Same is under challenge in this writ petition. Apparently petitioner thereafter, submitted repeated representations to the Board for reinstatement in service. Ext.P8 seems to be the latest among them. The request for reinstatement in service, at the instance of a person whose services have been terminated on completion of the departmental enquiry, by itself is not maintainable. There is no challenge to Ext.P1 order. In the circumstances I find it difficult to issue any specific direction to the Board to consider Ext.P8. Writ petition is therefore, dismissed without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to pursue Ext.P8. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
