MR.V.V.NANDAGOPAL NAMBIAR, SC FOR KSRTC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 04/01/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ------------------------- W.P.(C.) No.37106 of 2009 (G) --------------------------------- Dated, this the 4th day of January, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is working as a Head Vehicle Supervisor at the Thiruvalla Depot of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation. According to the petitioner, he is due for retirement on 31/03/2010, and that at the fag end of his service, he has now been placed under suspension by Ext.P3 dated 04/12/2009. It is the case of the petitioner that the allegations in Ext.P3 are totally incorrect and therefore, the suspension is illegal. 2. Having gone through Ext.P3, irrespective of the contentions of the petitioner, I am not satisfied that Ext.P3 prima facie does not disclose any acts of misconduct. On the other hand, if factually the allegations are incorrect, it is for the petitioner to satisfy his superiors and seek revocation of the suspension. It is seen that the petitioner has moved Ext.P4 before the 2 nd respondent seeking revocation of the suspension, and therefore, it is up to the 2 nd respondent to consider Ext.P4 and pass orders thereon. WP(C) No.37106/2009 -2- 3. Therefore, this writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to consider Ext.P4 and pass orders thereon as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within four weeks of production of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition before the 2nd respondent for compliance. This writ petition is disposed of as above.
