No.2198 of 2009 -------------------------------- Dated this the 7th day of October,2009 JUDGMENT Kurian Joseph.J Appellant is the petitioner.She approached this court for considering her grievances regarding the post and scale of pay attached thereto. The departmental officer declined to interfere in the matter in view of the pendency of the writ petition. As the petitioner pointed out the fact that she had filed a representation seeking reconsideration of the stand of the Joint Registrar as per Ext.P7 the learned Single Judge permitted the petitioner to withdraw the writ petition without prejudice to the liberty to pursue the matter before the Government. Petitioner apprehends that pending consideration of the said representation, her service would be terminated by the society. Having heard counsel for the appellant and the society we find that it is only in the interest of justice the status quo as on today is maintained and petitioner is permitted to continue in service subject to the decision to be taken by Government or Ext.P7 review petition. The writ appeal is disposed of accordingly. KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE C.T.RAVIKUMAR,JUDGE ssn
