JUDGMENT The petitioner along with others got involved in a criminal case. Initially, it was apprehended that certain provisions of the Arms Act etc. were violated. But, ultimately, even going by the bail order granted by the Judicial Magistrate of the First Class (Ext.P7), it does not appear to be so, though a licensed revolver was also recovered from one of the accused persons who are arrayed. Be that as it may, the petitioner in the fag end of his career, states that he has apologised to the Principal of the Institution and that his parents have also apologised. The fate of parenthood! As of now, the petitioner stands suspended from the College. I had issued an interim order WPC25887/09 -: 2 :- essentially to ensure that he does not miss the chance to write the University examinations. Hall ticket was issued. He has written the examination. Now it is for him to have a decision at the hands of the Principal at the earliest. Respondents 3 and 4 are directed to ensure that a decision is taken regarding the disciplinary matter against the petitioner since he continues under suspension even now. Without expressing anything on merits, it is ordered that such a decision shall be taken within a fortnight of production of a copy of this judgment. All other issues are left open. The writ petition is ordered accordingly. THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE. Sha/091109
