RADHAKRISHNAN, J. ---------------------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO.22782 OF 2007 (K) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 8th day of August, 2008 J U D G M E N T This matter is brought up at the instance of the fourth respondent. It is pointed out that W.P.(C) No.1262/2007 challenging the impugned order was disposed of relegating the petitioner therein to the Government. The learned counsel for the petitioner stated that counter affidavit has been placed by the official respondents. But the learned senior Government Pleader points out that the counter affidavit is filed only by the third respondent. Under such circumstances, I do not find any reason to detain this case now, that the Government have initiated proceedings to consider the issue. Hence, following the judgment in W.P.(C) No.1262/2007, this writ petition is closed without entering on merits and without prejudice to the rights of the petitioner to file appeal/revision before the Government against the impugned order. It is further directed that if such appeal/revision is filed within a period of three weeks, it will be treated as within time and appropriately taken up along with the W.P.(C) No.22782/2007 - 2 - matters involved in the judgment dated 21-7-2008 in W.P.(C) No.1262/2007. Awaiting filing of the appeal, any interim orders passed in favour of the petitioner will continue until the Government have taken a decision. This writ petition is ordered accordingly.
