WP(C) 4283/2010 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE B.K. SHARMA This writ petition has been filed praying for revocation of the Annexure-1 order dated 28.9.2007, by which the petitioner was placed under suspe nsion. I have heard Mr. N. Dhar, learned counsel for the petitioner as well as Ms. R. Chakraborty, learned State Counsel for the respondents. On the basis of the statements made in the writ petition that no progress has been made in the enquiry, learned State Counsel was requested to o btain instruction as to the stage of the enquiry. Ms. R. Chakraborty, learned Ad ditional Sr. Govt. Advocate has produced the copy of the letter dated 28.9.2010 addressed to her by the Joint Secretary to the Government of Assam in the Enviro nment and Forest Department. On perusal of which, it appears that the appeal pre ferred by the petitioner against the order of suspension was disposed of by a sp eaking order dated 3.4.2009 with the intimation to the petitioner. A copy of the said order has been enclosed along with the said letter. Further as per the par a-wise comments furnished to the learned State Counsel, the petitioner could not be paid his subsistence allowances from June, 2010 due to his absence from the Headquarter. As regards the enquiry proceeding, it has been stated that the Enqu iry Officer had issued three numbers of notices on different dates to the petiti oner to appear before him, but the notices could not be served on him as he was absent from the Headquarter unauthorisedly. Because of his continuous absence, a notice was also published in the newspaper namely Amar Asom on 1st July, 2010. Now the petitioner has reported to the office of the PCCF and he has been asked to furnish explanation for his unauthorized absence. In view of the above, this writ petition is disposed of directin g the respondents to complete the enquiry proceeding as early as possible. If th e petitioner does not participate in the enquiry proceeding, it will be open for the authority to proceed with the enquiry ex-parte against the petitioner. In t he meantime, the petitioner may be provided with admissible subsistence allowanc e. Writ petition is disposed of.
