On inspection, shortage of stock was found and the petitioner was placed under suspension. Thereafter she was reinstated in service. 2. Meanwhile, a Criminal Case was registered and she was finally convicted by the trial court by Ext.P2 judgment. Acting upon Ext.P2 she was dismissed from service as per Ext.P3. 3. She filed appeal against Ext.P2 as Criminal Appeal No.598/04. By Ext.P4 judgment, the Additional Sessions Judge, Trissur and set aside the above conviction and acquitted the petitioner. According to the petitioner, since the dismissal was entirely acting upon Ext.P2 judgment of conviction and in view of Ext.P4 judgment allowing her appeal, she made Ext.P6 representation to the 2nd respondent seeking reinstatement in service. Orders were not passed on Ext.P6 and therefore Ext.P7 reminder was also made. Even to Ext.P7 there is no response. It is in these circumstances the writ petition is filed. WPC.No.35979 /09 :2 : 4. If as stated by the petitioner she has filed Exts.P6 and P7 before the 2nd respondent seeking reinstatement in view of Ext.P4, it is for the 2nd respondent to deal with the representations. 5. Taking note of the allegation that these representations are not considered, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the 2nd respondent shall consider and pass orders on Exts.P6 and P7 referred to above, in the light of Ext.P4. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 4 weeks from the date of production of a copy of the judgment along with a copy of the writ petition. Petitioner shall produce a copy of the judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the 2nd respondent for compliance. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/ WPC.No.35979 /09 :3 :
