No.E2/6033/2011, dated 26.07.2011 and quash the same. For Petitioner : M/s.S.Subaharan For Respondents : Mr.T.R.Janarthanan Additional Government Pleader ORDER The petitioner, T.Asai Thambi, who suffered an order of suspension, dated 26.07.2011, has come to this Court challenging the authority of the second respondent alleging that instead of the first respondent, viz., the Principal Chief Conservator of Forests, the second respondent the Managing Director, Arasu Rubber Corporation Ltd., Nagercoil, has wrongly issued the order of suspension. 2. Disputing the same, the learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the respondents by producing a hierarchy of Officers in Forest Department submitted that the second respondent/the Managing Director is holding the rank of Additional Principal Chief Conservator of Forests. Hence, it goes without saying that the petitioner has been rightly placed under suspension by the competent authority viz., the Additional Principal Chief Conservator of Forests. Therefore the challenge made against the order of suspension on the ground of want of jurisdiction is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
