The case of the petitioner is that he was appointed as Professor (Mathematics) on 30.12.1981 and worked as such and he was appointed as Incharge Principal of the Dr.Ambedkar Government Arts College, Vyasarpadi on 31.07.2015. On 07.08.2015, a complaint was given to the Deputy Commissioner of Police bringing to the notice the illegal activities of the old students and sought for police protection. However, on the false complaint given by certain Professors who were lending active support to old students' leaders, as if the petitioner had demanded money from a girl student for admission in the college, the petitioner was called for a preliminary enquiry and a phone conversation was played, thereupon, the petitioner was sought for explanation. The petitioner denied the same and also brought to the notice of the 2nd respondent that it is a false complaint, the petitioner has been placed under suspension under the pressure exerted by certain students' leaders. Aggrieved over the suspension order passed, the petitioner is before this Court.
