JOSEPH, J. --------------------------------------- W.P.C NO. 31460 OF 2006 T --------------------------------------- Dated this the 28th November, 2006 JUDGMENT Petitioner challenges Ext.P1. It is an order of suspension. Learned Government Pleader submits that an appeal will lie under Rule 22 of the Kerala Civil Services (Classification, Control & Appeal) Rules, before the Director of Public Instruction. In such circumstances, I feel that petitioner should be relegated to approaching the appellate authority under Rule 22 of the Rules. I am sure that the appellate authority will apply its mind in a fair manner and pass appropriate orders in the interest of justice and in accordance with law. Accordingly, if the petitioner files an appeal before the Director of Public Instruction within two weeks from today, the Director of Public Instruction will consider the same and pass orders thereon in accordance with law, within a further period of three weeks, after hearing affected parties. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. K. M. JOSEPH, JUDGE kbk.
