P1 order of suspension issued by the second respondent. It is also stated that despite filing Ext. P4 representation before the second respondent seeking for reinstatement, considering Exts. P7 and P8 circulars, no steps have been taken by the second respondent, which hence is under challenge. 2. When the matter is taken up for consideration, the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner would like to approach the first respondent, before causing the matter adjudicated by this Court on merits and thus seeks to prefer a representation accordingly. 3. In the above circumstances, the Writ Petition is disposed of, with liberty to prefer an exhaustive representation before the first respondent within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. If any such representation is preferred by the petitioner, along with copy of the judgment and writ petition, the same shall be considered and appropriate orders shall be passed by the first W.P. (C) No. 27475 of 2011 : 2 : respondent in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month thereafter. Sd/- P. R. RAMACHANDRA MENON, JUDGE kmd
