DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTIONS, GOVERNMENT SECRETARIAT, THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. GOVT. PLEADER SRI. SANDESH RAJA THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/03/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P(C) No. 8749 of 2011 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 25th day of March, 2011. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is challenging Ext. P5 order of suspension. The suspension is on the ground that contrary to Government Orders, the petitioner had granted approval of appointment to a teacher in an aided school. The petitioner submits that such approval was strictly in accordance with Ext. P11 interim order and Ext. P12 communication from the Government to the Director of Public Instruction in the matter. Therefore, the suspension is unjustified, is the contention of the petitioner. 2. The learned Government Pleader submits that the petitioner has not disclosed the full facts. The suspension was after conducting a detailed enquiry as to the validity of the approval and that approval was contrary to the decisions of this Court and Government Orders. Having heard both sides, I am not inclined to interfere with the suspension order at present. But, having suspended the petitioner the respondents should complete the proceedings initiated by suspending the petitioner expeditiously. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to see that disciplinary proceedings initiated by suspending the petitioner shall be completed and taken to its logical conclusion as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The retirement benefits due to the petitioner shall be disbursed within a period of another two months. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/ [TRUE COPY] P.S TO JUDGE.
