JUDGMENT Aggrieved by the successive orders of suspension, the petitioner has approached this Court by filing this writ petition, after challenging the order Ext.P7, in Ext.P41 appeal before the Government. The petitioner was initially suspended by order dated 17.4.2009, produced as Ext.P1. At that point of time, he was working as Headmaster of G.U.P. School, Vandiperiyar. Challenging the same, he approached this Court by filing W.P.(C) No.12594/2009. The matter was directed to be considered by the Director of Public Instruction who passed Ext.P22 order. The said order was challenged in W.P.(C) No.18487/2009 and Ext.P23 is the judgment of this Court. Finally by Ext.P24, the petitioner was reinstated in service. Thereafter, allegedly because of some extraneous motives, again the petitioner was suspended by the Director of Public Instruction, as per Ext.P37 order, according to the petitioner, on the same set of allegations. Already ten months have gone after the order of suspension was issued. Even though Ext.P41 appeal has been filed before the Government, it is stated that no action has been taken in the matter. wpc 4500/2011 2 2. The petitioner alleges inter union rivalry for the repeated orders of suspension issued against him. It is also submitted that the alleged complaint of misappropriation is not at all proved and he has referred to various documents produced before this Court to refute the said allegations also. 3. It is up to the Government to take a decision on Ext.P41 with notice to the petitioner. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.41 after hearing the petitioner, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner will produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the first respondent for compliance. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
