The petitioner is now working as Principal of Our Lady’s

Teacher Training Institute, Palluruthy. As per Exhibit P3 dated

report on the Local Audit of the Accounts and Registers for

2007-2008 and 2008-2009 to the petitioner requesting her to

furnish reply to the audit objection. To the audit objections, the

petitioner sent Exhibit P4 reply dated 8.3.2010 to the District

Educational Officer.

2. The reliefs prayed for by the petitioner are the

following :

“(i) issue a writ of mandamus, certiorari

or any other direction or order to call for the

records to satisfy the propriety and legality of

Exhibit P3 audit objection and after hearing, to

quash the same; and

(ii) grant such other reliefs as this

Hon’ble Court deems fit and proper in the

interest of justice.”

3. The learned Government Pleader submitted that the

District Educational Officer has forwarded Exhibit P4 to the

Office of the Accountant General (Audit) and that the reply to the

audit objection will be duly considered by the second

respondent.

4. In the facts and circumstances of the case, the Writ

Petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to

consider Exhibit P4 reply submitted by the petitioner to Exhibit

P3 audit objections, after affording an opportunity of being heard

to the petitioner. Till Exhibit P4 is disposed of by the second

respondent, no recovery as indicated in Exhibit P3 shall be made

from the petitioner.

The Writ Petition is disposed of as above.
