THE SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE, ROHTAS :--- RESPONDENTS. ---------------------------------- For the petitioner :- Mr. Shailesh Kumar Singh, Advocate. For the State :- Mr. Manoj Kumar Sinha, A.C. to G.A.-10. ====== 2. 16.09.2011. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. 2. This writ petition has been filed for a direction to the State-respondents to pay the petitioner arrears of difference of salary for the suspension period as the dismissal order passed against the petitioner was set aside by the High Court after his superannuation from service and in the light of the High Court order Senior Superintendent of Police, Patna under Patna District Order No. 3836/2004 dated 26.5.2004, Annexure-1 closed the departmental proceeding initiated against the petitioner bearing no. 196/87 directing that petitioner shall be treated to be in service with effect from date of dismissal i.e. 12.6.1990. While closing the departmental proceeding no. 196/87 initiated against the 2 petitioner the Senior Superintendent of Police did not make any order for payment of arrears of difference of salary for the suspension period. Petitioner having not been found guilty of the charges levelled against him, in my opinion, arrears of salary for the suspension period beyond subsistence allowance has to be paid to him. 3. Accordingly, I direct the Senior Superintendent of Police, Patna to ensure payment of arrears of difference of salary for the suspension period to the petitioner, if not already paid within a period of two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order before the Senior Superintendent of Police, Patna. 4. The writ application is, accordingly, disposed of. P.K.P. (V.N.Sinha,J.)
