Petitioner is aggrieved by his suspension by the impugned order dated 30th April, 2008 (Annexure-6). It has been submitted that petitioner is not being paid subsistence allowances and although the memorandum of charges was required to be submitted within a week, it has been issued recently on 20th September, 2008 vide Annexure-9 to the supplementary affidavit. A further grievance has been raised that the charges are vague and supporting documents have not been given to the petitioner. Since the suspension is not by way of punishment - 2 - but only to enable holding of departmental proceeding against the petitioner,this court is not inclined to interfere with the suspension order at this stage. However, the petitioner is expected to appear before the enquiry officer without any delay and on such appearance he should be given copies of relevant documents without any delay. Petitioner is expected to co-operate in the departmental proceeding so that it may be concluded at an early date, preferably within three months from the date petitioner appears before the enquiry officer. It goes without saying that petitioner must be paid subsistence allowance as per law without any delay. The writ petition is disposed of. (Shiva Kirti Singh,J)
