IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.5569 of 2009 SURAJ RAM Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS. ----------- 2 12.5.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. The grievance of the petitioner in this writ application is confined to the payment of subsistence allowance since June, 2006. There should be no difficulty in payment of subsistence allowance to the petitioner till the suspension order remains inoperative. The only thing which the authorities can verify is as to whether the petitioner had reported at the Headquarters fixed in the order of suspension. If the petitioner has reported at this Headquarter so fixed under the order of suspension, the subsistence allowance, both arrears and current, must be paid within a period of one month from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. This Court would also note that the order of suspension is of the year 2006 and the same cannot continue indefinitely. In that view of the matter, this Court would direct 2 the competent authority to initiate and conclude the departmental proceeding within a period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. With the aforementioned observations and direction, this application is disposed of. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
