KATAKEY Heard Mr MJ Quadir, learned counsel for the petitioner, as well as Mr D Saikia, learned standing counsel for Health Department, appearing for the respondents. As agreed to by learned counsel for the parties, the matter is taken up for hearing and disposal, at the motion stage itself. The grievance of the petitioner in the present petition is that although he submitted a representation before the Joint-Director of Health Services, Tin sukia, on 4th November 2009 praying for revocation of the order of suspension d ated 16 August 2008, the same has not been considered till date. The petitioner, a surveillance worker posted at Kokapathar Public Health Centre, was placed under suspension with effect from 12 July 2008 by the Joint- Director of Health Services, Tinsukia, because of his arrest and detention in co nnection with Kokapathar PS Case No.KPR.P.S./400-04/08. The Joint-Director, ther eafter vide order dated 29 January 2009, enhanced the subsistence allowance of t he petitioner to the extent of 75 percent of latter’s salary, in accordance with the provisions contained in the Fundamental Rules. The petitioner, thereafter o n 4th November 2009, submitted the representation before the Joint-Director of H ealth Services, Tinsukia, praying for revocation of the order of suspension and also for allowing him to join his services. According to petitioner, the said re presentation has not been disposed of till date. It appears that the petitioner was placed under suspension, because of h is detention in custody in connection with Kokapathar PS Case No.KPR.P.S./400-04 / 08. It is the contention of the petitioner that there has been no progress in the investigation of the said police station case, rather he has been subjected to unnecessary harassment, although he is not involved in the offence alleged. I t is also the case of the petitioner that although a periodical review of the su spension is required to be made, the same has not been done by the authority, de spite filing representation by him. In view of above, the present writ petition is disposed of with a direct ion to the Joint-Director of Health Services, Tinsukia, to consider and dispose of the representation dated 4 November 2009 filed by the petitioner by a speakin g order, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of the certified copy of this order together with a copy of the writ petition and the annexures a ppended thereto to be submitted before him by the petitioner. The Joint-Director, while considering the case and passing necessary orders, as directed above, shall also take into consideration the period of suspension of t he petitioner and whether continued suspension of the petitioner is necessary. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs.
