No.12643/2008-E ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dated this the 25th day of March, 2009 J U D G M E N T Aggrieved by the order Ext.P11 refusing to revoke the order of suspension from service, the petitioner has filed this writ petition. He was working as a Special Village Officer at the time of the order of suspension. 2. The main allegations relate to the acceptance of basic tax of a property of 1.80 Acres in survey No.293/2 at Kizhakke Chalakkudi Village in Mukundapuram Takuk, which is stated to be a puramboke. 3. The learned Senior Counsel for the petitioner submits that the disciplinary enquiry initiated against him is already over and Revenue Divisional Officer has already forwarded the report to the District Collector in the matter. It is therefore, requested that a direction may be issued to the second respondent to pass final orders in the disciplinary proceedings. 4. In the result, the writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to finalise the disciplinary proceedings and pass orders after complying with all the formalities within a period of three months from the date of receipt of the copy of this judgment. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) ms
