Basheer, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P(C) No. 18459 of 2007 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 11th day of July, 2007. J U D G M E N T Petitioner who was an applicant to the post of Assistant Grade II in the Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit, Kalady has raised various allegations regarding the conduct of the selection process to the above post. But in the nature of the relief prayed for and also in view of the intervening developments, it is not necessary to refer to all those allegations. 2. The primary grievance of the petitioner is that respondents 2 and 3 are not taking appropriate steps to complete the vigilance enquiry pursuant to Exts.P2 and P4. There is a further prayer to issue a writ of mandamus to the respondents to hand over the vigilance enquiry to an officer not below the rank of Superintendent of Police. 3. When this writ petition came up for consideration on June 15, 2007, the Officer in charge of the enquiry was directed to file a status report. Accordingly the Officer had appeared before this Court and filed his report in a sealed cover. I have carefully perused the report which reveals that the enquiry report recommending departmental action, had been submitted by the Officer on May 2, 2007. It is further seen that the Vigilance Directorate had forwarded the said report to the Government after scrutiny on June 15, 2007 recommending no further action in the WP.18459/07 2 matter. A perusal of the report shows that prompt action has been taken by the Vigilance Department on receipt of the judgment of this Court in WP.NO.31377/2006. I do not deem it necessary to refer to the contents of the report at this stage, in view of the limited prayer made by the petitioner in this writ petition. Therefore the writ petition is closed. The status report shall be kept in a sealed cover as part of the record. A.K. Basheer Judge. an.
