C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR,J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.C. NO. 11813 OF 200 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 11th day of April, 2007 JUDGMENT Petitioners along with another person are under suspension for the alleged misappropriation of money and irregularties, while in the service of the second respondent. Counsel appearing for the second respondent produced order of the Joint Registrar dated 31.3.2007 extending the period of suspension by six months. One year is over since suspension. In the circumstance, I do not find any justification for further extension of time by six months granted by the Joint Registrar vide proceedings dated 31.3.2007. W.P. is accordingly disposed of directing the second respondent to complete the enquiry and pass final orders within three months from the date of production of a copy of this judgment by the petitioners and treat extension of period of suspension until then.
