He has filed an application for revocation of suspension, as evidenced by Ext.P8, which is followed by Ext.P9. Petitioner has also a grievance as regards the non disbursal of the subsistence allowance due to him. Hence the writ petition. 2. Learned Standing Counsel for the Electricity Board on instructions, submits that subsistence allowance will be disbursed, on production of non employment certificate duly attested by a Gazetted Officer. Certificate produced by the petitioner was not attested by the Gazetted Officer and hence, he was directed to get it attested by the appropriate authority. That was done only recently and a cheque for an amount of Rs.27,932/- has been drawn up in his favour. This pertains to the subsistence allowance for the period from March 2008 to May 2008. It is open to the petitioner to appear before the fourth respondent W.P.(C).21003/2008 2 and collect it at any point of time. Submission is recorded. Learned Standing counsel further submits that subsistence allowance in his favour shall also be disbursed in accordance with law, on production of the non employment certificate as duly attested by a Gazetted Officer. This submission is also recorded. In the meanwhile second respondent may pass orders on Ext.P8, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Writ petition is disposed of as above. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
