He was suspended from service as per Ext.P1. By Ext.P3, the order of suspension has been extended by the first respondent-Manager until further orders also.

Ultimately, by Ext.P6, Ext.P4 representation was rejected by the Director. 3. The petitioner has been placed under suspension in connection with C.C.No.1581/2007 filed before the Judicial Magistrate of the I Class III, Kollam. The petitioner is relying upon Ext.P7, whereby the said criminal case has been compounded. It is the contention of the petitioner that in the light of the above, suspension order has to be withdrawn.

The learned Government Pleader on instructions submitted that the petitioner has not moved the Department again for review of the order of suspension by relying upon Ext.P7. 5.

If the petitioner desires a review of the order of suspension on new grounds, he will be free to file appropriate representation along with a copy of Ext.P7, before the third respondent. If such a representation is filed within three weeks from today, the third respondent will consider the same in accordance with law and pass appropriate orders within a period of two months after hearing the petitioner and the Manager. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) ms
