THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 22/10/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C.) No.29831 of 2009 --------------------------------- Dated, this the 22nd day of October, 2009 J U D G M E N T What is sought for in this writ petition is a direction to the respondents to regularise the period of suspension of the petitioner, and pay him the monetary benefits. 2. Facts show that the petitioner was placed under suspension by Ext.P1 proceedings dated 13/12/99, and Ext.P2 memo of charges was also issued. It is stated that there was a vigilance case on the same allegation, in which he was acquitted by Ext.P3 judgment dated 26/03/2008, and thereafter, he was also reinstated in service with effect from 05/02/2002. According to him, disciplinary action has been dropped. The petitioner claims that the suspension period from 13/12/1999 to 05/02/2002 when he was kept out of service has not been regularised so far. It is in these circumstance, he has filed Ext.P4 before the 1st respondent praying for regularisation of the period of suspension and to pay the monetary benefits. WP(C) No.29831/2009 -2- 3. Having regard to the case of the petitioner regarding the pendency of Ext.P4 before the 1st respondent, I direct the 1st respondent to consider the same, if such application has been received and is pending. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within eight weeks of production of a copy of this judgment, along with a copy of this writ petition. This writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
