RAVIKUMAR, J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.(C). NO.29387 OF 2010 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 23rd day of September, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner was working as Secretary to the first respondent -Bank. He was placed under suspension on 28.11.2005 and the period of suspension was extended by Ext.P1 order dated 22.4.2010. The grievance of the petitioner is that he has not been paid the subsistence allowance to which he is entitled. To redress the grievance regarding the non-payment of subsistence allowance, he has submitted Ext.P2 before the 4th respondent. Despite the receipt of Ext.P2, no steps have so far been taken for disbursing the subsistence allowance, it is submitted. When an employee is placed under suspension, undoubtedly, he is entitled to subsistence allowance subject to the conditions for payment of the same. Considering the fact that Ext.P2 has been preferred before the fourth respondent and it is pending, this Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the fourth respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2 submitted by the petitioner, expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
