J U D G M E N T The petitioner, who is working as Associate Professor and Head of Department of the Department of Zoology, University College, Thiruvananthapuram, has approached this Court seeking for a direction to the respondents 1 to 3 to consider the grievance raised in Exts.P2 and P3 by the appropriate authority. In the said complaints, the petitioner has raised certain grievances against respondents 4 and 5 who are working as Associate Professors in the same Department. 2. Learned Government Pleader on getting instructions submitted that there are various complaints against the petitioner from the side of the respondents 4 and 5 as well as from certain students of the same Department. The matter is being considered at the level of the Principal and due enquiries are going on and on 02.09.2011 the College Council is also meeting. I am not considering anything on the merits of the matter since W.P.(C) No.22328/2011 2 the Principal is already conducting the enquiry. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner prayed for a direction to the Director of Collegiate Education to consider the grievance raised by the petitioner. Learned Government Pleader submitted that the Principal will make due enquiries and forward a report to the Director of Collegiate Education on all matters including the complaints raised by the petitioner as well as the complaints raised against the petitioner. While conducting enquiry, the Principal will look into the grievance raised by the petitioner in Ext.P3 also. Recording the submission made by the learned Government Pleader, this writ petition is disposed of. T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR JUDGE smp
