PLEADER SHRI.ANTONY MUKKATH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 18/03/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No. 5760 of 2011 ================== Dated this the 18th day of March, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is now officiating as Health Inspector Grade II in a Community Health Centre. He has been placed under suspension by Ext.P2 order on 17.2.2011. The petitioner contends that the allegation against the petitioner is that while taking classes under the “Adolescent Health Programme” the petitioner unnecessarily taught four girls students about menstruation and sex, which was unnecessary. With the help of Ext.P1 copy of the curriculum for the Programme, the petitioner submits that the subjects are part of the subjects to be taught in the Adolescent Health Programme and, therefore, the suspension of the petitioner is wholly unjustified. 2. The learned Government Pleader has today made available to me a copy of the complaint from the parent-teacher association of the A.U.P. School, Bovikanam, based on which, further proceedings and suspension were ordered. From the same, I find that the complaint is that while the students were taken to community health centre, the petitioner took the older students from among several to a separate room and taught them things, which ordinarily he should not have done. In the complaint it is stated that he had told the students obscene things, which is embarrassing him to write down. I w.p.c.5760/11 2 cannot by any amount of certainty decide as to whether the allegations against the petitioner are correct or not. Since a parent-teacher association has complained about the same, I am not inclined to interfere with the suspension of the petitioner at this juncture. However, it is only appropriate that respondents 1 to 3 see that the disciplinary proceedings initiated by Ext.P3 against the petitioner are completed and taken to its logical conclusion, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within four months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment. In the meanwhile, it would be open to the petitioner to seek review of suspension, which if done, shall be considered expeditiously. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
