It is contended that the order passed in the disciplinary proceedings has not become final, and therefore, it would be a hard step on the part of the respondent to send him out of the quarters, especially, during the midst of the academic year and in the background of the fact that his children are studying in the nearby institution. Other contentions also have been taken in the representation (Ext.P8) filed by the petitioner before the respondents. 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the Standing counsel for the respondents. 3. It is submitted on behalf of the respondents that the request made by the petitioner as per Ext.P8 will be looked into and appropriate decision will be taken within two weeks from today. The above submission is recorded. Status quo as obtains today, as regards W.P.(C)No. 28564/2006 2 the occupation of the quarters by the petitioner, shall continue till orders are passed on Ext.P8.
