Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1966. These rules provide safeguard to the employees. ‘r; 7. Rule 9 of the aforesaid rules relates to suspension of the employees, which is quoted below : “9.(1) The appointing authority or any authority to which it is subordinate or the disciplinary authority or any authority empowered in that behalf by the Governor by general or special order, may place a government servant under suspension — (a) where a disciplinary proceeding against him is contemplated or is pending; or (b) where a case against him in respect of any criminal offence is under inventilation, enquiry of trial: (2) A government servant shall be deemed to have been placed under suspension by an order of appointing authority- (a) with effect from the date of his detention, if he is detained in custody whether on a criminal charge or otherwise for a period exceeding 48 hours: M with ei’iect irom the date oi his conviction, if, in the event of conviction for an offence, he is sentenced to a term of imprisonment V exceeding 48 hour‘s and is not, y , mv (Ck forthwith dismissed or removed or compulsorily retired consequent to such conviction. (3) Where a penalty of dismissal, removal or compulsory retirement from service imposed upon suspension, a government is set aside in servant appeal o ggjder on review under these rules and the case is remitted for further inquiry or action or with any other directions, the order of his suspension shall be deemed to have continued in force on and from the date of the original order of dismissal, removal 0r compulsory retirement and shall remain in force until further orders. (4) Where a penalty of dismissal, removal or compulsory retirement from service imposed upon a government servant, is set aside or declared or rendered void in consequence of or by a decision of a Court of law and the disciplinary authority, on a consideration of the circumstances of the case, decides to hold a further inquily against him on the allegations on which the penalty of dismissal, removal or compulsory retirement .was originally imposed, the government servant shall be deemed to have been placed under suspension by the appointing authority from the date of the. original order of dismissal, removal or compulsory retirement and shall continue to remain under suspension until further orders. (5) (a) An order of suspension made or 11x deemed to have been made under this rule, 1 shall continue to remain in force until it is :1 ‘ modified or revoked by the authority competent to do so: (b) In respect of a government servant, whose orders of suspension stand revoked in accordance with the first or second proviso of clause (a) the authority competent may, if it considers expedient so to do, place him under suspension after a copy of charges and other documents, as required by sub—rule(4) of Rule 14, have been issued to him. (C) Where a government servant is suspended or is deemed to have been suspended, whether in connection wiggff’any disciplinary proceeding or otherwise and any other disciplinaiy proceeding is commenced against him during the continuance of that suspension, the authority competent to place him under suspension may, for reasons to be recorded by him in writing, direct that the Central Government shall continue t0 be under suspension until the termination of all or any of such proceedings. (d) An order of suspension made or deemed to have been made under this rule, may at any time be modified or revoked by the authority which made or is deemed to have made the order or by any authority to which that authority is sub-ordinate.” 8’ Rule 23 of the aforesaid rules provides an appeal which reads as under: “23. Orders against which appeal lies: Subject to the provisions of rule 22, a government servant may prefer an appeal against all or any of the following orders, namely — (i) an order imposing any of the penalties specified in rule 10 whether made by the disciplinary authority or“ by any appellate or reviewing authority; (ii) an order enhancing any penalty, imposed under rule 10; (iii) an order of suspension made or deemed to have been made under rule 9.” So far as the employees of the Banks are concerned, they are governed by the rules and regulations framed by the Banks, which provide more or less similar safeguards as contended by the rival parties. w J: So far as the question regarding the statement and discussion in Vidhan Sabha is concerned, Articles 194 and 212 of the Constitution of India have been referred to by the State counsel, which read as under : 94. Powers, privileges, etc., of the House of Legslatures and of the members and committees thereof (1) Subject to the provisions of this Constitution and to the rules and standing orders regulating the procedure of the Legislature, there shall be freedom of speech in the Legislature of every State.
