By order, dated 26.06.2006, the petitioner was placed under suspension following registration of an ACB case against him. His suspension period is being extended from time to time. His grievance is that the respondents are not paying him the revised pay scales for the period anterior to his suspension order and also the enhanced subsistence allowance of 75%. In the counter-affidavit filed by respondent No.5, it is inter alia admitted that representation, dated 18.03.2009 filed by the petitioner for payment of arrears of salary applying the revised pay scales of 2006 and enhancement of subsistence allowance from 50% to 75% was received by his Office and forwarded to the Office of respondent No.4. It is stated that orders from the Corporate Office are awaited and that immediately on receipt of the orders, payments will be made. The claim of the petitioner for arrears of salary due to revision of pay scales of 2006 and also his entitlement to enhanced subsistence allowance, is not denied by the respondents. Therefore, the respondents are directed to pay the arrears of salary to the petitioner within a period of four (4) weeks. They shall also pay the arrears of enhanced subsistence allowance as per Rules within the said period and continue to pay the same so long as the petitioner continues to be under suspension. With the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WPMP.No.8337 of 2009 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous.
