Justice T R Ramachandran Nair admitted the petition and issued notice to the state government.
Earlier, the court had directed the petitioner to remove the name of the Governor from the list of respondents in the case.
Natarajan filed a petition to delete the governor's name and the case was posted for today for admission.
According to Natarajan, a Deputy Inspector General of Police, the governor's November 12 suspension order was 'illegal'.
The governor had suspended Natarajan on the basis of the recommendation made by the state government following a police probe which came across evidence to corroborate the charge that the commissioner had urged a police official investigating the case to spare Achuthanandan.
The case against Achuthanandan, ordered by the present UDF government, pertains to alleged violation of norms while allotting land to T K Soman, an ex-serviceman and his close relative, in Kasaragod district when he was Chief Minister heading the previous LDF Ministry.
