THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 15/03/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P(C) No. 8376 of 2010 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 15th day of March, 2010. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is the Head of the Department of Aquatic Biology and Fisheries of University of Kerala, Thiruvananthapuram. According to her, respondents 1 to 3 are not taking any action in respect of very serious misconducts stated to have been committed by the 4th respondent apparently since the 4th respondent is a member of the Syndicate of the University. In the above circumstances, the petitioner has filed Ext. P2 before the 1st respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P2. 2. I have heard the standing counsel for the University also, who submits that Ext. P2 can be considered on merits. 3. I am of opinion that it is more appropriate that the 2nd respondent considers Ext. P2. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with the following directions: The 1st respondent shall forward Ext. P2 to the 2nd respondent within a week from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The 2nd respondent shall consider and pass orders on Ext. P2 within one month thereafter, after hearing the petitioner as well as the 4th respondent. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/ [TRUE COPY] P.S TO JUDGE.
