Order dated 26.3.2001. In the meanwhile, the petitioner has been reverted as Peon and posted in C.H.S., Punalur against the reversion vacancy of Sri T. Monachan. The said order of reversion is produced as Ext.P4. 3. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Govt. Pleader appearing for the respondents. 4.
