After conducting an inquiry, punishment of stoppage of one increment with cumulative effect has been awarded vide order dated 7.7.2003 (Annexure P7). For his suspension period, he has been paid subsistence allowance. The petitioner is claiming that he should be paid full wages for the suspension period from 13.12.1995 to 25.1.1996 which has been declined by C.W.P. No. 16149 of 2011 [ 2 ] passing an award dated 24.9.2010 (Annexure P-10). Once the petitioner has been punished after holding due inquiry, it was the prerogative of the department to treat the suspension period as having been spent on duty or not. The department has paid him suspension allowance for the said period. The award on this ground does not require any interference. Dismissed. 1.9.2011 ( RITU BAHRI ) Rupi JUDGE
