       Dated this the 5th day of November, 2008

                      JUDGMENT

Disciplinary proceedings taken against the

petitioner by the third respondent, the Managing

Director of the Kerala State Coconut Development

Corporation, ultimately ended in Ext.P9 order. It was

inter alia directed by the Government that the wages

payable to the petitioner during the period of

suspension be confined to the subsistence allowance

drawn by him during the said period. Petitioner has

sought for a variation of that portion of the order.

Pursuant to the order passed by the Government,

petitioner was reinstated in 2007 and is continuing

since then. Ext.P14 is a comprehensive representation

filed by the petitioner before the first respondent inter

alia seeking a direction that he be paid wages, as is

applicable to the post in which he would have

discharged his functions for the entire period.

Representation is addressed to Chief Secretary, the

first respondent. It is open to the first respondent to

W.P.(C).32425/2008

make over the same to the second respondent.

2. I heard learned Standing Counsel for the third

respondent and the learned Government Pleader.

3. In the result, writ petition is disposed of directing

the first respondent to either take a decision on Ext.P14

within three months or see that the same is made over

to the second respondent within one month from the date

of receipt of a copy of this judgment. In the event of the

first respondent making over the representation to the

second respondent, second respondent shall take a

decision within two months from the date of receipt of

representation from the first respondent. Copy of the

writ petition along with the copy of the judgment shall be

independently produced before respondents 1 and 2 by

the petitioner.

V.GIRI,
Judge
