Now, a magistrate suspends staffer for not cleaning fish properly!

Now that one lady office assistant’s plight after her refusal to wash judicial officer’s undergarments has come out in the open, a suspension order is now going viral on social media.

It appears that the attention that the first case of harassment evinced has emboldened the leak of another suspension order, and this time citing the office assistant’s inability to clean fish appropriately before frying!

His tale only reinforces the fact that lower rung staff of the courts have been routinely deployed for medial jobs at the residences of the judicial officers, though officially it is frowned upon.

After some three and half years, this office assistant, Velumurugan has come out with his plight, after Vasanthy’s travails got highlighted in the media.

Just like Vasanthy, an office assistant was asked to explain why action should not be taken against her for her refusal to wash the sub judge’s undergarments, this office assistant, a male, had rougher treatment.

He has been suspended from service. His offence: inability to cook the fish properly for his highness. This magistrate, located in Valliyoor had an office staffer regularly cook for him Ramamoorthy Masali. And he had to go on leave.

Thereupon, the cooking duty fell on his other colleagues, each one used to take turns to cook for the magistrate. When one Velugmuruga’s turn came, the magistrate kept waiting at the table, but was hungry and angry as nothing came to the table.

Upon asking Velumurugan, the magistrate found out that he did not cook anything and the time was 2.35 p.m. The new assistant pleaded that he could not do the cooking alone.

After two days, again Velugmurgan was on cooking duty. The magistrate came home for lunch and found the fish fry troublesome. What Velumurugan had done was that he neither washed the fish properly nor did he remove the scales before frying it.

Upon questioning, Velumurgan submitted that he could not do household chores. As per the documents, now circulating on the social media, the magistrate suspended the office assistant on the grounds of “public interest"
