GOVT.PLEADER SRI.V.MANU THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 15/03/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. -------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO.8462 OF 2010 (G) -------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 15th day of March, 2010 J U D G M E N T Challenge in this writ petition is against Ext.P6. Petitioner submits by this order, the Ombudsman ordered that the petitioner should be placed under suspension. However, a reading of this order shows that, in this order the Ombudsman only advised that the question as to whether the petitioner should be placed under suspension is a matter to be considered by the Government. Therefore, Ext.P6 does not reflect any binding direction as apprehended and canvassed by the petitioner. In view of this I find no merit in the writ petition. Writ Petition fails and is dismissed.
