THE DRAWING AND DISBURSING OFFICER OF ANCHAL CHERIYA BARIARPUR DISTT.- BEGUSARAI ----------- 2 12.10.2010 The petitioner was suspended allegedly on the ground of being absent without proper authorization. Petitioner submits that she was on official duty and her absent was not authorized . It is admitted that consequent to suspension, departmental proceedings have been initiated and the petitioner has filed his show cause. Having considered the mater, in my view, the case does not call for any interference at this stage. The departmental proceedings having been initiated, it - 2 - would only be fit and proper that the matter is concluded within three months from the date of order of this Court is produced before the District Superintendent of Education, Begusarai. In case proceedings are not concluded within that time, the order of suspension would immediately on expiry of three months stands revoked. Petitioner’s other grievance is with regard to non payment of subsistence allowance as per law. It is expected that even though an employee may be suspended , the obligation of the State is to ensure payment of subsistence allowance . If the same is not paid, the District Superintendent of Education concerned would ensure payment thereof immediately. With the aforesaid observations and directions, the writ petition is disposed of.
