WP(C) 2047/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE B.K. SHARMA. Heard Mr. N. Dhar, learned counsel for the petitioner as well as Mr. J. Roy, learned counsel for the respondent-Corporation. I have also heard Mr. C. Ba ruah, learned Central Govt. Counsel. The petitioner is aggrieved by the Annexure-6 order dated 29.3.2011, by which, just before 48 hours ahead of his retirement from service on attaining t he age of superannuation (31.3.2011), he was placed under suspension in contempl ation of a departmental proceeding. The grievance of the petitioner is that sinc e he has already retired from service on 31.3.2011, the Annexure-6 impugned orde r dated 29.3.2011 cannot be enforced after 31.3.2011 and that the same has spent its force. Because of the order of suspension, the petitioner has not been able to leave his place of posting at Jagiroad. Mr. N. Dhar, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that while it is true that the departmental proceeding can proceed even after retirement of the petitioner, but he cannot be retained in the place of posting under forced suspe nsion. Mr. J. Roy, learned counsel representing the respondent-Corporation subm its that although the suspension order was issued on 29.3.2011, but the same cou ld not be served on the petitioner as he refused to accept the same. He submits that thereafter, the order was sent by registered post. Be that as it may, since the petitioner has already retired from service on attaining the age of superannuation on 31.3.2011, there is no question of co ntinuing him under suspension after cessation of the employer and employee relat ionship. However, irrespective of the said position, the respondents may procee d with the disciplinary proceeding, if the same is permissible as per the releva nt rules. Since the petitioner has already retired, it would be appropriate for the respondent-Corporation to finalize the same expeditiously. Pending decision in this regard, the respondent-Corporation may also provide the admissible termi nal benefits and/or provisional pension as may be available under the relevant r ules. The petitioner may approach the Corporation authority in this regard and t he authority shall pass appropriate order as expeditiously as possible, but at a ny rate, not later than 31st July, 2011.
