WP(C) 994/2009 BEFORE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RANJAN GOGOI Heard Mr R Ali, learned counsel for the petitioner and mr N Hoque, learn ed counsel for the respondents. As agreed to by the learned counsel for the parties and in view of the s ubject matter involved, the writ petition is being disposed of at the motion sta ge. The petitioner was placed under suspension by an order dated 4.11.2006. The said suspension was revoked on 6.12.2007. The sole grievance raised in the w rit petition is that notwithstanding the order dated 5.2.2007 for payment of sub sistence allowance to the petitioner, such allowance has not been paid. A Government servant placed under suspension is entitled to receive his subsistence allowance at the rates stipulated subject to fulfillment of certain conditions particularly, with regard to his engagement in alternative employment during the suspension period. The respondents will make an enquiry with regard to the entitlement of t he petitioner for subsistence allowance and if he is found to be so entitled, to pay him the subsistence allowance. This will be done within four weeks from the date of receipt of this order or a certified copy thereof. The prayer of the pe titioner for payment of salary will depend on the outcome of the departmental pr oceeding against him which is stated to be presently pending. The writ petition shall stand disposed of in the above terms.
