BY ADV. SRI.B.KRISHNA MANI RESPONDENT(S): --------------- THE SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE, PATHANAMTHITTA-689 645. GOVT. PLEADER SHRI.ANTONY MUKKATH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/11/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No.34082 of 2010 ================== Dated this the 11th day of November, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner has been convicted in a criminal case. On the basis of such conviction, Ext.P5 show cause notice has been issued to the petitioner. According to the petitioner, the petitioner has already filed an appeal against the conviction, in which, the sentence has been suspended by Ext.P4 order by the appellate court on condition that 3/4th of the fine amount is paid by the petitioner. According to the petitioner, in view of the interim order of the appellate court, the petitioner cannot now be dismissed from service on the basis of the conviction by the trial court. I am not inclined to go into the question raised by the petitioner insofar as Ext.P5 is only a show cause notice. It would be open to the petitioner to file reply to the show cause notice and raise his objections to the action proposed in Ext.P5 in the same. Without prejudice to that right, this writ petition is dismissed. Sd/- sdk+ S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE ///True copy/// P.A. to Judge
