JUDGMENT : D. K. Singh, J. The present writ petition has been filed by the petitioner, who happens to be the Registrar of the University of Kerala, against the suspension order in Ext.P11 dated 02.07.2025 issued by the Vice Chancellor of the University of Kerala. The following prayers have been made in the writ petition: “(i) to issue a writ of certiorari calling for the records leading to Ext.P11 and quash the same; (ii) to issue a writ of mandamus, or any other appropriate writ, order or direction directing the Syndicate of the University to allow the petitioner to continue in service; (iii) to declare that Ext.P11 order issued by the 4th respondent is without any authority of law and is void and non-est ; iv) to issue such other writ, order or direction as this Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case.” 2. It appears that the Syndicate has revoked the suspension order passed by the Vice Chancellor. Therefore, the petitioner wants to withdraw this writ petition. 3. Whether the decision of the Syndicate of the University is just, proper, legal and valid has to be decided by the appropriate authority/forum. As the said decision of the Syndicate is not the subject matter of challenge in this writ petition, this Court would not like to comment on the functions and powers of the Syndicate. As the petitioner wants to withdraw this writ petition, the writ petition is dismissed as withdrawn. The decision of the Syndicate shall be considered and adjudicated by the appropriate authority if the same is challenged before the appropriate authority. The writ petition stands dismissed as withdrawn.
