CWP-12896-2017 - I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the record of the case with their able assistance. 5.

It may be noticed that the petitioner was exonerated by the enquiry officer of the allegations alleged against him. It is only upon the fact that the Punishing Authority did not agree with the findings of the enquiry officer, a disagreement note was issued and was given to the petitioner after which, the petitioner was given the punishment of censure. The punishment of censure is a minor punishment. The charges framed against the petitioner were also not that serious for which he was being punished. Once, a minor punishment has been imposed upon the petitioner treating the period of suspension as a leave of the kind due is without any valid justification. Hence, the period of suspension be treated as a duty period but, without any further emoluments over and above the suspension allowance already paid so that, the petitioner does not suffer any prejudice at the time of his retirement qua the said period to be treated as qualifying service.
