THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 04/01/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ W.P.(C)No. 407 OF 2008 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 4th day of January, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner is the manager of a L.P. School. He placed the 3rd respondent under suspension. Originally the petitioner was permitted by the AEO to continue suspension beyond 15 days. Thereafter the AEO reviewed that order and ordered reinstatement of the 3rd respondent. The petitioner filed a writ petition before this Court, which was disposed of by Ext.P8 judgment relegating the petitioner to his statutory remedy by way of revision before the Government. The petitioner has filed Ext.P9 revision petition along with Ext.P10 stay petition. The petitioner now confines his prayer for a direction to the 1st respondent to consider Ext.P10 stay petition expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned Government pleader also. In the facts and circumstances of the case, there would be a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on both Ext.P9 revision petition and Ext.P10 stay petition expeditiously. Stay petition shall, at any rate, be disposed of W.P.(c) No.407/08 2 within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment after hearing the 3rd respondent also. The revision petition shall also be disposed of within a period of another two months. I make it clear that I have not considered the contentions of the petitioner on merits. I also make it clear that this judgment shall not operate as stay of further proceedings pursuant to the AEO's order. It is for the 1st respondent to consider the matter on its merits. The writ petition is disposed of as above. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd W.P.(c) No.407/08 3
