Ext.P1 order dated 8-2-2007 was passed placing the petitioner along with four other Assistant Controllers under suspension pending enquiry. An additional Commissioner, one Sri.T.Thankappan, was given charge as Special Enquiry Officer to conduct an enquiry into those allegations. The Government as per Ext.P2 dtd. 23.9.2008 ordered reinstatement of another officer, who was suspended along with the petitioner as per Ext.P1. This was pursuant to the direction of this Court in W.P.(C) No.6871 of 2007. The petitioner contends that a Review Committee was constituted for the purpose of reviewing suspension in its meeting held on 7.3.2008 recommended the revocation of suspension of the petitioner. As the petitioner is being continued under suspension, he has filed Ext.P4 representation, seeking to revoke the order of suspension. In the light of the fact that Ext.P2 order has been passed by the Government revoking the suspension in respect of Serial No.1 in Ext.P1, there will be a direction to the Government to consider Ext.P4 and pass appropriate orders considering all aspects and the contentions raised by the petitioner in Ext.P4. The petitioner submits that he may be allowed to file an additional representation inviting W.P.(C) NO:1050 of 2009 2 the attention of the Government regarding the recommendation to revoke the suspension by the Review Committee. The same is permitted. Orders shall be passed by the respondent, on the representation Ext.P4 within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. No costs.
