VIRENDRA SINGH Vs. JVVNL

JUDGEMENT

(1.) ALTHOUGH , this writ petition has come upon application for early listing but after hearing learned counsel for the parties, it emerges from the facts that the petitioner is challenging the validity of the suspension order dt. 18.05.2010 passed by the respondent No. 3. There is no stay operating in this writ petition. The petitioner is under suspension but according to learned counsel for the petitioner, he is not getting any subsistence allowance, so also, salary for the period in which he was in service and later on placed under suspension. Therefore, at least the respondents may be directed to pay the due salary of the petitioner so also subsistence allowance and for revoking the suspension order.

(2.) LEARNED counsel for the respondents submits that suspension is not punishment and it is always upon for the employer to place an employee under suspension in the event of contemplation of any departmental enquiry. Therefore, there is no error in the impugned order.
