Ahamed, learned standing counsel, Irrigation Department representing the respon dents. Considering the relief sought for in this writ petition and also as agreed to by the learned counsel appearing for the parties, this writ petition is being disp osed of at the admission stage itself. The petitioner’s case, in brief, is that while the petitioner was serving as Jun ior Engineer in Irrigation Department, Itakhola Division, Tezpur, Assam, he was arrested by the police on 23.02.2010 in connection with CID P.S. Case No. 25/200 7 under Section 409/406/468/420/120(B) IPC. The aforesaid case was registered on the basis of an FIR lodged by one Sri Someswar Laskar, Inspector of Police, CID , Assam on 28.06.2007 before the Officer-in-charge, CID P.S., Ulubari, Guwahati, on the basis of enquiry report submitted by the Chief Secretary, Government of Assam and the Chairman of the High Power Enquiry Committee to the Secretary, Ass am Legislative Assembly, Dispur, Guwahati with regard to the irregularities in i mplementation of Bordikoral Irrigation Project under Itakhola Irrigatioin Divisi on, Tezpur. The petitioner was placed under suspension w.e.f. 23.02.2010, i.e., from the date of his arrest, under the provision of Rule 6(2) of the Assam Serv ices (Discipline and Appeal) Rules, 1964. However, the petitioner was granted b ail by this Court on 10.03.2010. Thereafter, the petitioner submitted several r epresentations before the respondent-authorities requesting to revoke the suspen sion order and also to reinstate him in service. Since no order has been passed by the respondent-authorities on the said representations, the petitioner has f iled this writ petition. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that till date no departmental proc eeding has been initiated, nor any charge sheet has been submitted against the p etitioner. Learned counsel further submitted that since the petitioner has been kept under suspension, he is facing financial stringency to maintain his family . Considering the nature of the case, I am of the considered opinion that it is fo r the appropriate authorities to take a decision in the matter as to whether the petitioner’s suspension order needs to be revoked or not. Situated thus, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent No.1, i.e., the Secretary to the Government of Assam, Irrigation Department, Assam to consider t he representation of the petitioner and dispose of the same in accordance with l aw within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. The petitioner may submit a fresh representation before the respond ent No.1, if so advised, along with a certified copy of this order and also a co py of the writ petition.
