IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.4063 of 2008 KAMLESHWAR PATHAK Versus MADHYA BIHAR GRAMIN BANK & ORS ----------- 6. 14.5.2008. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the Bank. 2. Petitioner was placed under suspension in contemplation of a departmental proceeding and while in suspension criminal case was also lodged in which he was taken in custody but was released after sometime. Having secured release from the jail custody he has to participate in the departmental proceeding and for participating in the proceeding as also defending the criminal case he requires documents for which request has been made through letters addressed to the Chairman as contained in Annexures- 4/1 and 10/A to this application. 3. Let the petitioner appear before the Inquiry Officer and apply for documents which he thinks are necessary for filing the written defence as also relevant for the purposes of defence in the criminal case and those documents be supplied to the petitioner within a reasonable time in any case within one month from the date of the request before the Inquiry 2 Officer. 4. The other grievance of the petitioner which has been raised in this application is that the subsistence allowance is not being released to him as is required under Rule 45 of the Service Regulation as according to the petitioner even provident fund and other deductions are made from his subsistence allowance. 5. Let the authorities pay the subsistence allowance in the light of the contents of Rule 45 and if the petitioner disputes the quantum of the subsistence allowance then he should represent before the authorities which representation should be dealt with by passing a reasoned order within one month from the date of receipt of the representation. From perusal of Rule 45 it is crystal clear that no interest can be deducted from the subsistence allowance. This writ application is, accordingly disposed of. Rajesh/ ( V. N. Sinha, J.)
