Exhibit-P1 is the order of suspension. He was suspended from service along with the former Secretary of Panchayat, Present Secretary and the Assistant Engineer. Petitioner is the Head Clerk, and was holding the charge of Secretary. 2. Seeking for revocation of the order of suspension, petitioner has filed Exhibit-P2 representation before the Government under Rule 10 (6) of the Kerala Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1960. It is submitted that the representation is still pending and so far no orders have been passed by the Government in the matter. Even though the order of W.P ( C) No.2349 of 2009 2 suspension is under challenge in this writ petition in the light of the order proposed to be passed, I am not going into the merits of the matter. Presently, the petitioner seeks only for a consideration of the representation seeking for revocation of the order of suspension. 3. Therefore, there will be a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Exhibit-P2, in accordance with law, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
