Judgment :- 1. This writ petition has been filed praying for a writ of Certiorari to call for the records relating to the impugned order of the respondent, dated 22. 2001, suspending the petitioner from service in the interest of the society. 2. The main contention of the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner is that the respondent had exercised the power of suspension in an arbitrary and mala fide manner. No reasons have been given in the impugned order suspending the petitioner from service. There is no allegation of misconduct against the petitioner. Therefore, the impugned order of the respondent, dated 22. 2001, is to be set aside. 3. The learned counsel appearing for the respondent had submitted that the petitioner has been reinstated in service, in view of the interim order passed by this Court, on 23. 2001, in W.M.P.No.8057 of 2001. The learned counsel appearing for the respondent had further submitted that the petitioner would not be suspended from service for her unauthorized absence, which was the basis for her earlier suspension. Therefore, it was submitted by the learned counsel appearing for the respondent that no further orders are required to be passed in the present writ petition. However, he had prayed that this Court may permit the Management of the respondent Bank to initiate appropriate proceedings against the petitioner for her alleged misconduct of unauthorized absence, if found necessary and if so advised. 4. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner had not refuted the submissions made by the learned counsel appearing for the respondent. 5. In view of the submissions made by the learned counsels appearing for the parties concerned, the writ petition stands dismissed, as no further orders are required to be passed in the writ petition. However, it goes without saying that it is open to the respondent Management to initiate appropriate proceedings against the petitioner, in accordance with law, for the alleged misconduct of her unauthorized absence, if found necessary and if so advised. Consequently, connected W.M.P.No.8057 of 2001 is also dismissed. No costs.
