With the consent of the learned counsel appearing on either side, the Writ Petition is taken up for final disposal.
2.Heard Mr.M.S.Palaniswamy, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, Mr.V.Subbiah, learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the first respondent and Mr.R.Arumugam, learned counsel appearing for the second respondent.
3.This Writ Petition has been filed against the order passed by the first respondent, dated 12.01.2015, in which it was held that the appeal filed by the second respondent is maintainable.
4. From the records, it is seen that the second respondent was initially dismissed based upon certain charges framed against him. The appeal filed by him was allowed. However, in the Criminal proceedings initiated against the second respondent, he was convicted. Based upon the order of conviction, he was once again dismissed. An appeal was preferred against the order of dismissal. Pending appeal, an application was filed by the petitioner questioning the maintainability of the appeal.
5. Now it is submitted by the learned counsel appearing for both sides that the conviction rendered by the Trial Court itself has been set aside in the appeal. Thus, there is no basis for the order of dismissal passed.
6. In such view of the matter, nothing survives for adjudication in this Writ Petition. Accordingly Writ Petition stands dismissed. The petitioner is directed to take a decision regarding the reinstatement of the second respondent. No costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed.
