RAVIKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO. 3632 OF 2010 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 4th day of February, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner, while working as Overseer at Kandanasserry Grama Panchayat, was placed under suspension as per Ext.P1 dated 1.1.2010, on the allegation that he committed certain irregularities and misconduct, as briefly set out therein, warranting disciplinary action. The third respondent was directed to conduct a detailed enquiry and to submit a report. The contention of the petitioner is that there is no iota of truth in the allegations levelled against him, based on which he was placed under suspension. This aspect cannot be looked into at this stage by this Court. If the petitioner is aggrieved by Ext.P1, it is up to him to approach the Government for invocation of its power either under Rule 35 or 36 of the Kerala Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1960. Without prejudice to that right of the petitioner to resort to such remedies against Ext.P1, the Writ Petition is dismissed. (C.T. RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) sp/ C.T. RAVIKUMAR, J.
