The contention raised in the writ petition is that the Commissioner does not have power to order suspension. However, this plea is unsustainable in view of Rule 100(2) (P) & (X)(ii) (16). At best, the only omission is that Sub Rule 16 is not mentioned in Ext.P3 order, which cannot, as long as power exists, invalidate the order. 2. Be that as it may, having regard to the fact that the petitioner can seek revisional remedy against Ext.P3 order, liberty is given to the petitioner to file revision before the Government and seek reliefs in that revision. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
