IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.3312 of 2011 Mangat Ram Vs. The Registrar, Haryana Co-operative Socities, Panchkula & another Present: Mr.Madan Gupta, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. The petitioner was placed under suspension on an FIR registered against him. He was released within a short period of a week or so. Still, he has not been taken back on duty. The petitioner has already made representations in this regard, but the same have not been considered for a considerable period. The counsel contends that the suspension is one of the punishment, which can be imposed and in the background of the facts, the same cannot be continued once the petitioner has been released. Since the petitioner has already filed representations, Annexures P-4 and P-5 for the same cause, the present writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to decide the same within a reasonable time.
