The petitioner filed the writ petition challenging the suspension ordered as per Ext.P14. As per order dated 22.03.2018, this Court has already directed the respondent to reinstate the petitioner, in the light of the judgment in Parameswaran Namboothiri V. Travancore Devaswom Board [ 2012 (1) KLT 246]. It was made clear that the reinstatement shall be without prejudice to the right of the respondents to proceed with disciplinary action. The suspension was ordered on the ground that petitioner who is a Melsanthi received a sum of Rs.20/- as Dakshina. The issue is covered by the judgment in Parameswaran Namboothiri's case (supra).
In implementation of the interim order petitioner has already been re-instated. Therefore this writ petition is closed, leaving it open for the respondents to initiate disciplinary proceedings, if found necessary.
