Radhakrishnan, J. ================================== W.P.(C)No.21870 of 2006 ================================== Dated this the 2nd day of January, 2008. JUDGMENT On the prior approval of the Joint Registrar issued as per Ext.P4, the petitioner Society appointed Sri.P.Balasubramanyan, the person named in Ext.P4 on contract basis. He took charge on the date subsequent to Ext.P4 and was continuing in office. While so, without stating any particular reason and purportedly on a change in policy of the Government, Ext.P6 was issued ordering disengagement of the said person. The Bank had already engaged him for one year following the prior sanction given by the Joint Registrar as per Ext.P4. Under such circumstances, Ext.P6 is unsustainable. The same stands stayed by this Court. In the result, the impugned Ext.P6 is quashed WPC21870/2006 -:2:- and the writ petition is allowed accordingly. Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, Judge. sl.
