IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.5979 of 2011 Sri Mahadeb Ram SON OF LATE SHIV MANGAL RAM RESIDENT OF BARHULIA, P.O. GURADAI, DISTRICT SIWAN AT PRESENT RESIDENT OF ANCHAL OFFICE, P.S. CHATAPUR, DISTRCT SAHARSA. Versus 1. The State Of Bihar 2. CHIEF SECRETARY, BIHAR, PATNA. 3. SECRETARY, REVENUE DEPARTMENT, PATNA. 4. COLLECTOR, SUPAUL 5. S.D.O. TRIBENIGANJ, DISTRICT SUPAUL. 6. ANCHAL ADHIKARI, CHATAPUR, SUPAUL. ---------------------------------- 3 19/08/2011 Petitioner has been suspended for a set of charges. A departmental enquiry has also been initiated. The Court refrains from recording all the details or the backgrounds under which the said suspension order came to be passed because it does not show a very happy situation which compelled the authorities to suspend the petitioner with other similarly situated employees. However, one submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner does merit consideration that the petitioner is entitled to subsistence allowance which learned counsel informed the Court has not been paid. If what has been stated at the Bar is correct, then the Court directs the District Magistrate, Supaul to ensure that subsistence allowance is paid to the petitioner forthwith - 2 - and the domestic enquiry expedited and taken to its logical end. This writ application is disposed of with the direction aforesaid. AMIN/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
