THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 30/10/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ........................................... W.P.(C)NO.30873 OF 2009-D ............................................. Dated this the 30th day of October, 2009 J U D G M E N T Grievance in this writ petition is against Ext.P3, by which the petitioner, an Anganwadi worker, has been placed under suspension on allegations of misconduct. However, having regard to the nature of the allegations mentioned in Ext.P3, I do not think this Court will be justified in interfering with Ext.P3. 2. The counsel for the petitioner has submitted that having regard to the nature of the allegations levelled and also the malafide motives by the authorities, an independent outsider may be appointed to conduct an enquiry against the petitioner. If the petitioner has such a case, at least at the first instance, the petitioner should move the disciplinary authority with this request and thereupon it is for the disciplinary authority to consider the same. Therefore, leaving it open to the petitioner to pursue his request for the appointment of an independent outsider, as the enquiry officer, this writ petition is disposed of.
