Following the decision in N.Natarajan and another v. Vigilance Officer, Directorate of KIRTADS, Kozhikode and others (M.F.A.No.1318 of 1999) we have held that the matter should be considered by the scrutiny committee constituted as per the provisions of Act 11 of 1996. In that process, apart from the proceedings of the scrutiny committee which was constituted in accordance with the Act, report of KIRTADS was also set aside. That was a mistake. Report of KIRTADS is only an evidence before the scrutiny committee. Therefore, we review the judgment dated 10th August, 2006. Report of KIRTADS dated 31.3.2000 is not set aside. It can be taken as one of the evidence by the scrutiny committee. The review petition is disposed of accordingly. J.B.KOSHY JUDGE M.SASIDHARAN NAMBIAR JUDGE tks
