J U D G M E N T
Petitioner is aggrieved by Exhibit P1 order of
suspension issued by the District Superintendent of Police
(Rural) Kozhikode. According to the petitioner , the order
of suspension has been passed on incorrect factual
premises. Apparently, the petitioner has been suspended
on the ground that petitioner had refused to accept the
transfer order and misbehaved towards the Duty Officer.
According to the learned counsel for the petitioner, this is
not correct. Petitioner had made a representation to the
Reserve Inspector AR Camp for allowing him 10 days
medical leave with effect from 4.6.2008.
2. In my view, petitioner has an efficacious
remedy by way of an appeal against Exhibit P1. He also
has a remedy by way of an application for revocation. But
in the facts and circumstances of the case, it would be
W.P ( C) No. 20487 of 2008

appropriate that petitioner files an appeal against Exhibit
P1.
In the result, the writ petition is disposed of
permitting the petitioner to file an appeal against Exhibit
P1 before the competent appellate authority in terms of
Rule 22 of the Kerala Civil Services (classification, control
and appeal) Rules, 1960. If the appeal is filed within two
weeks from today, it shall be considered and disposed of by
the appellate authority within three weeks from the date of
receipt of the appeal, after hearing the petitioner.
