The petitioner who was working as Professor and Head of Department of Processing Technology at the College of Agriculture, Vellayani, is aggrieved by the non-regularization of the period of suspension between 12.4.1996 to 1.12.1996.
2.
The petitioner during the said period was suspended on the allegation of irregularities alleged in the purchase and sale of plant seeds, seedlings and planting materials. A case is said to have been registered against the petitioner by the Vigilance and Anti Corruption Bureau, Thiruvananthapuram, which was later referred on the V.A.C.B., filing a final report as 'mistake of facts'. The petitioner claimed regularization of the suspension period so also payment of the balance amount due as salary and allowances, as early as on 27.10.2009.
W.P.(C) No. 18476/2009 -23.
The Standing Counsel for the University had submitted before this Court that already orders have been issued sanctioning the arrears pursuant to Exts.P3 and P4 and steps are being taken to disburse the amounts. Though, it was also submitted that statement is filed, no statement is seen in the records.
4.
When the matter was taken up today, neither the counsel for the petitioner nor the Standing Counsel for the University appeared. In such circumstance, in all probability, the arrears would have been paid. If not paid till now, definitely, the petitioner could challenge such action/omission; contrary to the submission made before this Court in the above writ petition.
The writ petition stands closed.
