*GLIMPSE OF A LATEST VERDICT*

*W.P. 1613/2021*
Dr. P. Sasikumar Vs. The Director & Anr.
Dated: 31.03.2021

*Hon’ble Justice S. Vaidyanathan* allowed the Writ Petition, and since this matter is an exception one, interfered with the impugned Order of Suspension and reinstated the Petitioner in service within 15 days, in this matter relating to *“Suspension under Complaint from Wife, when there is a finding of cruelty on her part”* and further held the following:
i) When the family issue has already been dissolved by the Family Court, the question of placing the Petitioner under suspension does not arise, more so, when there is a finding of cruelty and voluntary desertion by the 2nd Respondent herein.

ii) It is unfortunate that there is no provision like the Domestic Violence Act, to proceed against the wife by the husband.

iii) The present generation must understand that marriage is not a contract, but a sacramental one. Of course, the word ‘sacrament’ has no meaning after coming into effect of the Domestic Violence Act, 2005, that, approves live-in-relationship. Husband and wife must realize that, ‘ego’ and ‘intolerance’ are like footwear and should be left out of their house, when they enter the home, else, the child/children will have to face a miserable life.

iv) If the matter ends in compromise or the Petitioner is acquitted of the charges, the Petitioner will have to be paid by the Government without extraction of work.
