CW 5158/08 //1// In the High Court of Judicature for Rajasthan Jaipur Bench ** Civil Writ Petition No.5158/2008 Chandra Singh Jhala Versus State & Anr. Date of Order ::: 26/05/08 Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Rastogi Mr. Sanjay Mehrish, for petitioner Instant petition has been filed assailing order of suspension passed on 18/03/08 U/R 13(2) of Rajasthan Civil Services (Classification, Control & Appeal) Rules, 1958 (“CCA Rules”). Petitioner is working as Gram Sevak cum Secretary. FIR-46/08 was registered on 02/02/08 for offences U/Ss 420, 467, 468, 406, 471, 472 & 120-B, IPC against petitioner and he remained in judicial custody from 16/03/08 to 20/03/08. It appears that some settlement has been arrived at between the parties and petitioner was granted bail by learned trial Judge. However, taking note of FIR registered against him - pending investigation whereof, petitioner was placed under suspension. U/r 13 of CCA Rules, the authority is competent to place an employee under suspension on contemplation of disciplinary inquiry or pending investigation/ trial pursuant to FIR registered against employee. Petitioner was placed under suspension pending investigation in FIR, which certainly CW 5158/08 //2// reflects his work in the office of Panchayat Samiti, Jhalrapatan. This court does not find any error in the order impugned placing petitioner under suspension. No interference is called. Consequently, writ petition fails and is hereby dismissed. However, in case impugned suspension is prolonged, petitioner will be at liberty to file representation U/r 13(5) of CCA Rules before competent authority. (Ajay Rastogi), J.
