THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 08/07/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI,J. ------------------------- W.P ( C) No. 20487 of 2008 -------------------------- Dated this the 8th July, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is aggrieved by Exhibit P1 order of suspension issued by the District Superintendent of Police (Rural) Kozhikode. According to the petitioner , the order of suspension has been passed on incorrect factual premises. Apparently, the petitioner has been suspended on the ground that petitioner had refused to accept the transfer order and misbehaved towards the Duty Officer. According to the learned counsel for the petitioner, this is not correct. Petitioner had made a representation to the Reserve Inspector AR Camp for allowing him 10 days medical leave with effect from 4.6.2008. 2. In my view, petitioner has an efficacious remedy by way of an appeal against Exhibit P1. He also has a remedy by way of an application for revocation. But in the facts and circumstances of the case, it would be W.P ( C) No. 20487 of 2008 2 appropriate that petitioner files an appeal against Exhibit P1. In the result, the writ petition is disposed of permitting the petitioner to file an appeal against Exhibit P1 before the competent appellate authority in terms of Rule 22 of the Kerala Civil Services (classification, control and appeal) Rules, 1960. If the appeal is filed within two weeks from today, it shall be considered and disposed of by the appellate authority within three weeks from the date of receipt of the appeal, after hearing the petitioner.
