NO. 12774 OF 2007 --------------------- Dated this the 24th day of May, 2007 J U D G M E N T Petitioner was placed under suspension while he was working as Higher Secondary School Teacher under the management of respondent No.1. The grievance of the petitioner is that he has been kept under suspension for a period of more than seven months without any justifiable reason. He has raised several contentions in support of his plea that the order of suspension is vitiated and illegal. Anyhow, I do not propose to deal with any of the contentions raised by the petitioner at this stage in view of the limited prayer made by him that he will be satisfied if an appropriate direction is issued to respondent No.1 to consider Ext.P3 representation submitted by him for review of the order of suspension. Learned counsel for respondent No.1 submits that an appropriate decision on Ext.P3 will be taken without any further delay. In the above facts and circumstances of the case, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No.1 to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3 strictly on its merit and in accordance with WPC NO.12774/07 Page numbers law as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Needless to mention that the petitioner shall be afforded sufficient opportunity to be heard before any decision is taken in the matter. A.K. BASHEER, JUDGE vps WPC NO.12774/07 Page numbers A.K.
