ANIL THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 22/07/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. -------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO.22912 OF 2010(L) -------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 22nd day of July, 2010 J U D G M E N T I heard the SC for the respondents. 2. Challenge in this writ petition is against Ext.P1. By this order petitioner, an Overseer in the Electrical Section, KSEB Chithari in Kasaragod District has been placed under suspension on account of the allegations stated in Ext.P1. Admittedly Ext.P1 order of suspension has been issued by the disciplinary authority and the allegations, if true, are misconducts. The case of the petitioner is that Ext.P1 order of suspension was issued for extraneous consideration and therefore the suspension is not justified. In my view, in the nature of the disputes raised, the remedy available to the petitioner is to file an appeal as provided in the rules. Therefore I dispose of this writ petition leaving it open to the petitioner to seek appellate remedy before the 2nd respondent. It is directed that if appeal is filed, that will be considered and orders thereon will be passed within 4 weeks. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/ WPC.No. /09 :2 :
