BIJOY CHANDRAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 31/10/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI,J. ------------------------- W.P ( C) No. 32315 of 2007 -------------------------- Dated this the 31st October, 2007 J U D G M E N T The petitioner challenges Exhibit-P8 order dated 23.10.1997 in so far as the period of suspension of the petitioner was decided to be treated as duty for all purposes except pay and allowances. This writ petition is filed after a period of 10 years. I do not find any reason to entertain this writ petition at this belated stage. Even otherwise on a perusal of Exhibit-P8 I find that the Government has only directed that the period of suspension will be treated as duty for all purposes except pay and allowances. I do not find any error of jurisdiction in this case. The writ petition is bereft of merit and it is dismissed. (V.GIRI, JUDGE) ma K.THANKAPPAN,J CRL.A. NO.92 OF 1999 ORDER 25th May, 2007
