RAVINDRAN, JJ. --------------------------------------------------------------- W.A.NO.788 OF 2008 -------------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 3rd day of April, 2008. JUDGMENT Balakrishnan Nair, J: The appellants are the petitioners in the writ petition. 2. The petitioners have been placed under suspension in contemplation of the disciplinary proceedings by the Government by Ext.P1 order dated 17.3.2008. The petitioners submit, they are innocent. The allegation against them is that they filed a false report in connection with the recognition of issuance of NOC for Y.M.M. School,. Chittumoola for affiliation with the CBSE. According to them, there are no valid grounds to suspend them. 3. On going through the order suspending them, we notice that there are serious allegations against them. If these allegations are taken to be true, it cannot be said that the suspension is not warranted. If the petitioners have a case that the allegations against them are unfounded and false, they have to bring these facts to the notice of the Government and seek review of the suspension under Rule 35 of the KCS & CCA Rules. Though the petitioners challenged Ext.P1 before this Court, the learned W.A.NO.788/2008 . 2 Single Judge dismissed the writ petition giving liberty to them to move the Government for revocation of the suspension. We find nothing wrong with the decision of the learned Single Judge. We agree with the reasons and conclusions in the judgment under appeal. Accordingly, the writ appeal is dismissed without prejudice to the contentions of the appellants and their right to move the Government as ordered by the learned Single Judge. K. BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE P.N. RAVINDRAN, JUDGE. cl W.A.NO.788/2008 . 3
