BY GOVT. PLEADER SRI. ARAVINDKUMAR BABU THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 01/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. -------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO.16714 OF 2010 (L) -------------------------------------------------- Dated this the Ist day of June, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioners are working in the cadre of First Grade Surveyor and Head Surveyor under the 2nd respondent. Ext.P1 is an order issued by the first respondent placing four employees including the petitioners under suspension pending disciplinary action. They have sought revocation of suspension by filing Exts.P12 and Ext.P12(a). These applications have not been considered and therefore this writ petition is filed. 2. Going by the dates contained in Exts.P12 and P12(a) these applications were filed in February, 2010. Having regard to the long lapse of time, I see no justification for keeping Exts.P12 and P12(a) pending any further. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P12 and P12(a), as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 6 weeks from the date of production of a copy of the judgment along with a copy of this writ petition.
