GIRI, J. ------------------------------- WP(C).NO. 22615 of 2008 --------------------------------- Dated this the 28th day of July, 2008. JUDGMENT Heard learned counsel for the petitioner Sri.N.Unnikrishnan and the learned counsel for the Devaswomm Board Sri.D. Sreekumar. Essentially the petitioner is aggrieved by Ext.P3 by which his service as Karaima Sambandhi has been dispensed with. Though the order Ext.P3 has been passed by the 3rd respondent, it is stated to have been issued on instructions from the Commissioner. The petitioner has preferred Ext.P8 seeking reinstatement in service. But the same was addressed to the Commissioner. Obviously a decision can be taken only by the Board. 2. In the facts and circumstances of the case, the writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to forward Ext.P8 to the Devaswom Board within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Thereafter the Board shall hear the petitioner and take a decision within six weeks, after hearing the petitioner. The Board shall also pass orders as regards the salary due to the petitioner as claimed by him for a period of three months. V. GIRI, JUDGE. Pmn/ WPC.22615 /2008 2
