ORDER
The present writ petition has been filed for two limbs of prayers. One is to direct the official respondent to take action on the petitioner’s complaint and the second is to permit the petitioner to enter into the college, taking classes as per the time table and signing the attendance.
2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the respondents 1 to 3 and the learned counsel for the 4th respondent.
3. The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the second limb of prayer viz., permitting the petitioner to take classes has already been complied with. However, the petitioner’s representation dated 16.04.2024 has not been considered by the 2nd respondent.
WP No. 18443 of 2024
4. At this juncture, the learned counsel for the 4th respondent would submit that the complaint is trivial in nature and only to deny the consideration of the petitioner’s application for re-employment, such complaint has been given against him falsely. In furtherance of the complaint, the 4th respondent was also transferred, however, such transfer later on stayed by this Court in WP.No.25915 of 2024.
5. Since the issue revolves in a limited remit, this Court doest not want to go into the merits of the matter. However, the fact remains that the representation of the petitioner dated 16.04.2024 is pending with the 2nd respondent.
6. At this juncture, the learned Additional Government Pleader would submit that within a reasonable time, they would consider the petitioner’s representation according to it’s own merits and in accordance with law.
7. In such view of of the above submissions, this Court directs the 2nd respondent to consider the petitioner’s representation dated 16.04.2024 according to its own merits and in accordance with law and pass orders within a
WP No. 18443 of 2024
period of ten(10) days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. It is made clear that such consideration will in no way affect the consideration of the 4th respondent’s request for re-employment if he is otherwise eligible, according to it’s own merits and in accordance with law.
8. With the above direction, this Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. Consequently, connected WMP is also closed. 24-09-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No KMI To
