Versus

State of Punjab and another

...Respondent(s)

CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE G.S.SANDHAWALIA

Present:

Mr. Ashok Giri, Advocate, for the petitioner.

G.S.SANDHAWALIA, J. (Oral) The petitioner seeks release of suspension allowance from the date of suspension till realization alongwith interest and for issuance of directions to the respondents for completing the regular departmental inquiry pending against him.

It is not disputed that the petitioner was placed under suspension in view of being arrested in FIR No. 143 dated 21.11.2014. It is his grouse that though the departmental inquiry is also pending but he has not been given the suspension allowance to which he is entitled to. It is submitted that representation dated 11.05.2015 (Annexure P-2) has already been served upon respondent no. 2 but of no avail and he would be satisfied if the said representation is decided within a time bound frame.

Keeping in view the limited relief sought, this Court is of the opinion that there is no need to call upon the respondents to file reply. Accordingly, without commenting on the merits of the case or entitlement of the petitioner, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent no. 2 to decide representation dated 11.05.2015 (Annexure P2) within a period of 1 month from the date of receipt of certified copy of the order. Needless to say if the relief is to be denied, a reasoned order be passed and conveyed to the petitioner.
