P.N.Ravindran, J. ================== W.P.(C) No.11812 of 2009 ===================== Dated this the 8th day of April, 2009. JUDGMENT The main relief sought in this Writ Petition is to set aside Ext.P4 orders dated 23.3.2009 passed by the fourth respondent Manager placing the petitioner under suspension for a period of 15 days. The petitioner also challenges Ext.P4 memo of charges and statement of allegations of misconduct issued by the fourth respondent. 2. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the Manager has reinstated the petitioner in service without prejudice to the continuance of the disciplinary action initiated against her. By Ext.P4, the petitioner was placed under suspension only for a period of 15 days. Beyond that the Manager of an aided school can place a teacher under suspension with the permission of the educational officer concerned. The period of 15 days expired on 7.4.2009. The Writ Petition in my opinion has become infructuous. It is accordingly closed as infructuous. P.N.Ravindran, Judge. ess
