ORDER

12.06.2020 Heard

1. Grievance of the petitioner is that the petitioner was suspended in the year 2014. Subsequently, she was reinstated in 2016, however, the period of suspension in between 2014-2016 no orders have been passed, which has deprived the petitioner for regularization.

2. Learned counsel for the petitioner refers to the dictum passed by the Division Bench in Writ Appeal No.139 of 2019 (Annexure P-7) wherein it has been held that after revocation of suspension, the authority is bound to take a decision as to how the suspension period would be treated. Learned counsel in view of this background, at this stage, now craves the indulgence to make a representation to the respondent No.1 so that the authority may give a decision on the period of suspension as to how it is to be treated. After perusal of the order of Division Bench of this Court in Writ Appeal

No.139 of 2019 specially para 7, it is obvious that the period of suspension cannot be kept in abeyance about the cause/ reasons as to how it is to be treated. Under the circumstances, the petitioner is given liberty to make a representation to the respondent No.1 alongwith the copy of the order and relevant documents within a period of three weeks. The authority, respondent No.1, thereafter shall decide the representation of the petitioner keeping into fact the law laid down by this Court in Writ Appeal No.139 of 2019 as since in any case there has to be official decision on the period of suspension how it is to be treated. The said representation shall be decided within a period of 90 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

3. In view of the above, the writ petition stands disposed off. Sd/- Goutam Bhaduri Judge Ashok
