It appears that the petitioner is involved in a criminal ca se under Section 302 IPC. In the counter affidavit filed by the respondent No. 3 , it has been sated that Tamarhat P.S. Case No. 48/07 under Section 302 IPC has been registered against the petitioner (now transferred to Gosaigaon P.S.). In p aragraph-9 of the counter affidavit, it has been stated that it is the petitione r who has delayed the departmental proceeding by his unauthorised absence. Howev er, it has been stated that an enquiry officer has been appointed with a directi on to complete the proceeding as early as possible. Mr. J. Sarma, learned counsel for the petitioner prays that direction ma y be given to complete the proceeding as early as possible. He further submits that the petitioner will participate in the proceeding. Ms. R. Chokraborty, lear ned Addl. Sr. Govt. Advocate submits that failure to participate in the proceedi ng by the petitioner may cause delay in the proceeding. In view of the above, the writ petition is disposed of directing the res pondents to complete the departmental proceeding as early as possible. Although it has been stated that the petitioner has not been paid his subsistence allowan ce, but the respondents in their counter affidavit have stated that same could n ot be paid to him because of his unauthorised absence. As regards the entitlemen t of subsistence allowance, the respondents may pass a speaking order as early as possible preferably within two months.
