RAVIKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.(C). NO. 19462 OF 2010 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 25th day of June, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a Primary Department Teacher under the General Education Department presently working in Pathanamthitta District. This Writ Petition has been filed challenging Ext.P2 order dated 3.6.2010 whereby she was placed under suspension. In view of the order I propose to pass in this Writ Petition, I do not think it necessary to delve into the facts any more. A perusal of Ext.P2 order would reveal that it is invoking power under Rule 10(1) (a) of the Kerala Civil Services (Classification, Control & Appeal) Rules, 1960 (for short 'the Rules') that the same was passed. The provisions thereunder provide for an appeal against the order passed under Rule 10(1)(a) of the Rules. Therefore, without making any observations as to the merits of the contentions raised by the petitioner in this Writ Petition, it is disposed granting liberty to the petitioner to avail appellate remedy available. It will be open to the petitioner to file an appeal within a period of ten days from today. In case an appeal is filed within the stipulated time, the same shall be considered by the appellate authority within a period of one month thereafter. (C.T.
