IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1545 of 2001 BALDEO CHOUDHARY Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 3. 29.08.2008 Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Counsel for the State. The claim in this writ application is for subsistence allowance for the period 24.2.1996 to 8.6.1996 for the period of suspension when ultimately punishment has been imposed. Learned Counsel for the State fairly submits that the petitioner is entitled to the subsistence allowance though that was not paid because he himself absconded during the period of suspension. Be that as it may the petitioner is held entitled to his subsistence allowance for the period of suspension. In so far as the period of suspension from 15.7.1997 to 15.12.1997 is concerned it is the specific case of the petitioner in Para 12 of his writ application that no departmental proceedings were initiated when the suspension order was revoked unconditionally. Dealing with the same in Para 15 of the counter affidavit the respondents do not deny that factual position. If that be so the petitioner is entitled for full salary for the said period. Let the arrears of the petitioner on both counts be paid to him within a period of two months from the date of receipt and/or production of a copy of this order. The writ application stands allowed.
