WP(C) 1005/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE B.K. SHARMA. The petitioner is aggrieved by prolonged suspension from service. The pe titioner was arrested in a criminal case relating to fraudulent withdrawal of G. P.F. Advance. The case is Dhemaji Police Station Case No.130/2006 registered und er Sections 468/409/420 I.P.C. The petitioner was granted bail on 19.8.2006 by t he learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Dhemaji in G.R. Case No.369/2006. According to the petitioner, his time to time representations for revoca tion of the order of suspension have not yielded any result and that the respond ents are sitting over the matter indefinitely without any review of the case of the petitioner to find out as to whether the continued suspension of the petitio ner is an utmost necessity. It is the case of the petitioner that since the cri minal case has not made any progress and no departmental enquiry has been initia ted against him, the order of suspension is required to be revoked. In the counter affidavit filed by the respondents through the Chief Engi neer, P.W.D. (Building), the correspondences made with the Government in the Pub lic Works Department have been referred to with the statement that the said corr espondences have not yielded any result. In view of the above, this writ petition is disposed of directing the re spondents to examine the case of the petitioner as to whether his continued susp ension will serve any purpose. Needless to say that the suspension should not be a routine affair and that too, with unlimited duration. This is precisely the r eason as to why various guidelines issued from time to time have emphasized peri odical review to find necessity or otherwise to continue with the order of suspe nsion. The petitioner may make an appeal to the appellate authority against the order of suspension within 15 days from today. In the event of making such app eal, the appellate authority shall dispose of the same taking note of the attend ing facts and circumstances and in accordance with law, as expeditiously as poss ible, but at any rate, not later than one month from the date of receipt of the appeal.
