X ------------- 2. 16.8.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner was placed under suspension on 10.8.2000. It was revoked on 2.12.2000 directing that nothing beyond subsistence allowance was payable for the period of suspension. It is the contention of the petitioner that no departmental proceeding whatsoever was held. Suspension is not a punishment. If no departmental proceeding had been held and suspension revoked, naturally the petitioner is entitled to his full salary for the period of suspension. Let the petitioner file a representation before the District Magistrate who is directed to dispose off the 2 same in light of the present discussion within a maximum period of two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. It is expected that if the respondents find justification in the claim, or in any part of the claim, necessary consequential orders shall be issued forthwith. The application stands disposed. P.
