PLEADER SHRI.NANDAKUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/12/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: A.K.BASHEER, J. ---------------------------------------------- WP(C) No.37799 of 2008-Y --------------------------------------------- Dated this the 19th day of December, 2008. J U D G M E N T Petitioner, while he was working as Sub Inspector in Chevayur Police Station, was placed under suspension by Respondent No.2. In Ext.P1 order of suspension the charge against the petitioner was that he had registered a case against one K.P.Satheesan, without verifying the necessary records to ascertain as to whether the said person was involved in the sale of fake lottery ticket. The said order was issued pending enquiry. 2. It is brought to my notice that the petitioner has preferred Ext.P3 application requesting to revoke the order of suspension. In Ext.P3, petitioner has highlighted all the relevant aspects of the issue as well as the contention that he was in fact on 'permitted leave' on the alleged day of incident. Anyhow, these are all matters to be considered by the authority concerned. 3. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner. I am satisfied that the writ petition can be disposed with an appropriate WP(C) No.37799 of 2008-Y : 2 : direction to respondent No.2 before whom Ext.P3 is stated to be pending. Therefore the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No.2 to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3 strictly on its merit and in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
