JUDGMENT
Petitioners are the Principal and Vice Principal of GPM
Government College, Manjeshwaram. By Ext.P14 they were
placed under suspension. The controversy is in relation to
the transfer of 10 acres of land out of 42.63 acres of land,
which was transferred to the petitioners’ college by Ext.P1
order. By Ext.P3 and P4, the aforesaid 10 acres were
ordered to be transfered to the 3rd respondent University.
According to the petitioners, since the procedure for
transfer was incomplete, they being the Principal and Vice
Principal, they were the custodians of land and were duty
bound to safeguard the interest of the College. According to
them this precisely was what they have done, but however
they were placed under suspension.
WP(c).No.36564/08 2
2. Irrespective of the controversies that they have
raised in the writ petition, complaining of the issues that
lead to suspension by Ext.P14 order, it is stated that they
have filed Exts.P16 and P17 representations before the first
respondent seeking revocation of their suspension.
3. In this writ petition, though the petitioners have
raised several contentions, having regard to the pendency of
the aforesaid two representations before the first
respondent, I direct the first respondent to consider the
same with notice to the petitioners and pass orders thereon
as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 6 weeks
from the date of production of a copy of the judgment along
with a copy of the writ petition. Needless to say that I have
not pronounced on the merits of the contentions raised.
