Ext.P2 is under challenge in this writ petition. In my view, the petitioner is entitled to seek revocation of the suspension before the Government itself. Petitioner may therefore file a representation seeking revocation within a period of one month in which case it will be considered and appropriate decision will be taken by the Government within a period of one month thereafter, after hearing the petitioner. The writ petition is disposed of as above. V. GIRI, JUDGE css/
