The petitioner is working as a Headmistress pursuant to the order dated 14.10.2009 from 20.11.2009 at Government Boys High School Haripad, Alappuzha District. It is the case of the petitioner that the suspension is ordered for extraneous reasons which cannot be supported. The petitioner has raised various grounds in the writ petition. 2. Since the order of suspension is issued by the Director of Public Instruction, the petitioner can very well approach the Government by filing a representation/appeal. The petitioner has produced various documents herein to show that the second respondent has not correctly appreciated the factual aspects relating to the fixation of pay of respondents 5 and 6 and it is pointed out that the order of suspension has been passed without appreciating them. If the WPC.No.1747/2011 : 2 : petitioner files a representation/appeal within a period of two weeks along with a copy of this judgment, the same will be considered by the Government and appropriate order shall be passed within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of the same. The petitioner will produce a copy of the writ petition also before the Government. No costs. (T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE) jma
