BEJOY CHANDRAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/03/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI,J. ------------------------- W.P ( C) No.7943 of 2008 -------------------------- Dated this the 7th March, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is working as a Forester in the Periyar Range. He is aggrieved by Exhibit P1 order of suspension passed by the 4th respondent. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that Exhibit P1 order of suspension is vitiated by non application of mind and illegal exercise of power. He therefore challenges Exhibit P1 order passed by the 4th respondent. In my view, since Exhibit P1 order of suspension is appealable under the Rules and there is no extra ordinary reason for this Court to consider the correctness of this order, at this stage. In the result, the writ petition is disposed of in the following terms: i) Petitioner may file an appeal against Exhibit P1 order before the 1st respondent . ii) If the petitioner files an appeal against Exhibit P1 before the 1st respondent, within two weeks from today, the same shall be looked by the 1st respondent W.P ( C) No.7943 of 2008 2 and appropriate orders be passed, after hearing the petitioner, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
