NO. 23464 OF 2002 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 21st day of March, 2007. J U D G M E N T Petitioners are aggrieved by the alleged steps taken by the first respondent for recovery of certain amounts from their salary. According to petitioners, no such steps can be taken in view of the report of the enquiry conducted by the fourth respondent. Hence, there will be a direction to the third respondent to look into the matter with notice to petitioners and first and fourth respondents and take appropriate action in accordance with law expeditiously. Petitioners shall be permitted to have the assistance of educated people since they are uneducated milk vendors. Interim order dated 14.08.2002 in C.M.P. No. 39964/2002 will continue till such time. This original petition is disposed of as above. KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE. smp
