ADAT GRAMA PANCHAYATH, REPRESENTED BY SECRETARY-IN-CHARGE, PURANATTUKARA P.O., THRISSUR DISTRICT. BY GOVT. PLEADER SMT. ANU SIVARAMAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 03/11/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. -------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO.30784 OF 2009 (P) -------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 3rd day of November, 2009 J U D G M E N T Petitioner was working as Secretary of Adat Grama Panchayat. By Ext.P1 Government Order dated 19.10.2009, she has been placed under suspension, in relation to an allegation regarding the issuance of building permit for construction of a multi storied building to the Director of Amala Cancer Hospital, Thrissur. It is challenging this order that this writ petition is filed. 2. Though, several contentions have been raised by the petitioner to contend that she is innocent and that there is no justifiable ground for placing her under suspension, still I feel, that at least at the first instance, the petitioner should move the first respondent itself for praying for revocation of suspension particularly having regard to the facts urged by the petitioner. Therefore the writ petition is disposed of directing that it will be open to the petitioner to move the first respondent for revocation of suspension, in which event the first respondent shall consider the same and pass orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and WPC.No.30784 /09 :2 : at any rate within 6 weeks from the date of production of a copy of the judgment along with a copy of the writ petition. Petitioner shall produce a copy of the judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the Ist respondent for compliance. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/
