                        O.P.No. 6490 OF 1996
                          --------------------------
                 Dated this the 17th October, 2006

                            J U D G M E N T

Petitioner is aggrieved by Exts.P1 and P2 in the matter of

recovery of certain alleged loss caused to the Corporation. One

of the grounds taken in the writ petition is that the petitioner was

never given an opportunity by the 1st respondent in the matter of

quantification of the liability. Since the order is passed by the

Managing Director, the petitioner prays for an opportunity to

move the Board of Directors of the Corporation. Accordingly,

this writ petition is disposed of as follows:

In the event of the petitioner moving the the Board of

Directors of the Corporation within a period of two months from

today, the petitioner shall be afforded an opportunity for hearing

and also an opportunity to verify the accounts. It will be open to

the petitioner to raise all contentions before the said authority.

Thereafter, the said authority will pass appropriate orders

adverting to the contentions taken by the petitioner. This shall

be done within a period of four months from the date of receipt of

the representation. The interim order passed by this court in

C.M.P.No.11150/1996 will continue till such time. It is made

O.P.No.6490/1996 2

clear that only to the extent of liability and recovery alone, this

writ petition is considered and the other contentions are left

open.
