MS.ANU SIVARAMAN, GOVERNMENT PLEADER THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 27/10/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C.) No.30409 of 2009 --------------------------------- Dated, this the 27th day of October, 2009 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is working as an Assistant Surgeon. When the petitioner was working at the Community Health Centre, Vellanad, by Ext.P1 order he was placed under suspension from 15/05/2008. He was reinstated on 04/11/2008 as per Ext.P2 order, pending finalisation of disciplinary action. 2. According to the petitioner, since then, there has not been any progress in the disciplinary action, and that his period of suspension also has not been regularised. The petitioner states that he filed Exts.P3 & P4 representations before the 2nd respondent seeking regularisation of his period of suspension and release of monetary benefits, and that these representations also have not been considered so far. It is with these grievances, this writ petition is filed. 3. Having regard to the pendency of Exts.P3 & P4 representations before the 2nd respondent, I feel it is only WP(C) No.30409/2009 -2- appropriate that the 2nd respondent should consider these representations and pass orders thereon. Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P3 & P4, with notice to the petitioner. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within eight weeks of production of a copy of this judgment, along with a copy of this writ petition. This writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
