JUDGMENT
A complaint was launched by the petitioner who was
working as a Head Nurse in the Taluk Head Quarters Hospital at
Chengannur that she had abused by a Peon. The matter was
enquired into and Ext.P4 enquiry report shows that the Peon
against whom the petitioner filed a complaint had actually
committed the misconduct. But a warning was also
recommended as against the petitioner. It was also
recommended that both the incumbents be transferred from the
office. According to the petitioner, Sri.Vijayan, Peon was
transferred to a nearby place, most convenient to him and she
has been transferred to a far off place.
2. In my view, the matter shall be looked into by the
Director of Health Services who shall decide whether any action
against the petitioner is either warranted or justified. Petitioner
shall produce a copy of the judgment along with a representation
before the Director of Health Services within 3 weeks from today
and the Director shall take appropriate action within 6 weeks

thereafter. Status quo as on today as regards the petitioner
shall be maintained till a decision is taken by the Director of
Health Services.
Writ petition is disposed of as above.
