No.513 of 2009 ---------------------------------------------- Dated 4th March, 2009. J U D G M E N T Kurian Joseph, J. The first respondent in W.P.(C) No.6547/09 is the appellant. The appellant is aggrieved by the interim order passed by the learned Single Judge, whereby the operation of the impugned Ext.P9 order has been stayed. As per Ext.P9 order, Sri.M.Satheeshkumar, Assistant Devaswom Commissioner has been placed under suspension. The learned Single Judge took note of the fact that there was an earlier direction in W.P.(C) No.21062/07 (Ext.P6) to continue Satheeshkumar in the category of Deputy Devaswom Commissioner, and so long as the said order was in force, the suspension of Satheeshkumar was impermissible. We are informed that the said writ petition has been allowed and Satheeshkumar has been permitted to continue as Deputy Devaswom Commissioner. Sri.V.Chitambaresh, learned senior counsel appearing for the appellant submits that the Board is taking up the matter in appeal. Be that as it may, in view of the developments referred to above, Ext.P9 order does WA NO.513/09 2 not survive. Therefore, this Writ Appeal has become infructuous. The appellant may bring the developments referred to above to the notice of the learned Single Judge for appropriate consequential orders in W.P.(C) No.6547/09. KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE.
