GOVT.PLEADER SRI.ARAVINDKUMAR BABU THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 21/05/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 15659 OF 2010 (F) ===================== Dated this the 21st day of May, 2010 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is an Executive Engineer in the Public Works Department. While working at the PWD Roads Division, Idukki District, by Ext.P1 order, he has been placed under suspension on the alleged irregularities mentioned in the order. Although it is the case of the petitioner that there is absolutely no substance in the allegations having regard to the PWD Manual and Ext.P2 order constituting the Task Force, I feel at this stage, it is not necessary for this Court to examine his contentions. This is primarily for the reason that the petitioner has already sought review of the order by filing Ext.P9 application under Rule 35 of the Classification Control and Appeal Rules, which is pending consideration of the 1st respondent. 2. In view of the above, I dispose of this writ petition directing the 1st respondent to consider Ext.P9 review petition with notice to the petitioner and duly adverting to his contentions. This shall be done, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within WPC No. 15659/10 :2 : 4 weeks of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
