PLEADER SMT.ANU SIVARAMAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 26/05/2008, ALONG WITH W.P(C).15351 OF 2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P(C).Nos.14915 & 15351 OF 2008 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 26th day of May, 2008 JUDGMENT The former among the captioned matters is filed by a Corporate Manager. The other is filed by a teacher who and another were placed under suspension on certain alleged counts of indiscipline. The statutory authority, viz., the AEO, refused to approve that action and continued them under suspension beyond 15 days. The Manager carried that matter up to the Government unsuccessfully. That is under challenge in W.P(C). 14915/08. The teacher seeks a direction to secure obedience of the directions of the AEO and the Government. 2. At the outset, I may clarify that this judgment does not touch upon the merits of the allegations against the teacher or regarding the alleged incident in question. However, I have gone through what is stated in W.P(C).14915/08 and the connected materials to consider whether the Corporate Manager has established a strong prima facie case warranting WPC.14915/08 & 15351/08 2 interference or entertainment of W.P(C).14915/08 as against the Government Order impugned therein. I find none. 3. Placed in this situation, learned counsel appearing for the Corporate Manager very fairly stated that the Corporate Manager will re-admit the teacher to duty in obedience to the directions of the AEO and the Government, and the statutory authority may be directed to conclude the enquiry proceedings. Having regard to what is aforesaid, these writ petitions are disposed of recording the aforesaid undertaking and ordering that the teacher shall be re-admitted to duty within two days of receipt of a copy of this judgment and the competent statutory authority will conclude the enquiry proceedings within an outer limit of four months from the date of reciept of a copy of this judgment.
