Hon'ble Shri Justice P. Sam Koshy Order on Board 07/06/2021 1.

The challenge in the present writ petition is to the order of suspension dated 01.03.2021.

2.

At the outset, this Court is of the opinion that there is an alternative statutory remedy available to the petitioner by preferring an appeal under Rule 23 under the Rules of 1966 under, which he has been placed under suspension. Moreover, the suspension is for noncompliance of an order of transfer issued as early in January, 2021.

-23.

The order of transfer was never challenged by the petitioner and now after the disciplinary action has been initiated, the petitioner preferred this petition challenging both the orders.

4.

Given the fact that the petitioner has been subsequently placed under suspension, reserving the right of the petitioner to prefer an appeal, if he so intends, the present writ petition at this juncture stands rejected. Sd/- (P. Sam Koshy) Judge Ved
