GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.DILIP MOHAN-R1,R2 THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/06/2010 , THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: C.T. RAVIKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.(C). NO.15807 OF 2010 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 25th day of June, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is working as Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmacology in the Medical College, Thrissur. The contention of the petitioner is that she has completed the period of probation on 13.9.2008 satisfactorily. However, her probation was not declared citing the reason of pendency of W.P.(C).No.8316/2007 before this Court. Ext.P3 is the letter on the aforesaid lines issued by the second respondent to the 3rd respondent. It is obvious from Ext.P3 that the reason cited for non declaration of petitioner's probation is only the pendency of W.P.(C). No.8316/2007. In fact, the proposal for declaration of probation of the petitioner was returned citing the aforesaid reason. In the light of the reasons assigned in Ext.P3, when this matter came up for admission it was ordered to be posted along with W.P.(C).No. 8316/2007 to see whether there is any order passed in the said Writ Petition interdicting declaration of probation in respect of the Assistant Professors under the Department of Pharmacology in the Medical Colleges. Obviously, there is no such order passed in W.P.(C).No.8316/2007. Therefore, this Writ Petition is disposed W.P.(C) NO.15807/2010 2 of with a direction to the third respondent to forward the proposal for declaration of probation of the petitioner, in the category of Assistant Professor, under the Department of Pharmacology to the second respondent expeditiously for consideration. It is made clear that the pendency of W.P.(C).No.8316/2007 shall not stand in the way of declaration of probation of the petitioner in case, she had completed the same satisfactorily. (C.T.
