Shri S.B.Pandey, Advocate Hon'ble Shri Justice P. Sam Koshy Order on Board 13/06/2017 1.

Challenge in the present writ petition is to the impugned order dated 23.05.2017 (Annexure P/1). Vide impugned order, the petitioner, who is working as Line Assistant Grade-1(L), has been placed under suspension. 2.

Prima facie, it appears that the order of suspension is an appealable order in accordance with the rules governing the service conditions applicable to the petitioner. Since the order impugned is an appealable order, the present writ petition would not be maintainable as there is an efficacious alternative remedy available to the petitioner. 3.

Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to prefer an appeal to the Appellate Authority against the impugned order of suspension and in the event of appeal being preferred, it is expected that the Appellate Authority shall consider and pass a suitable order on its own merits, in accordance with rules.
