Ajay Rastogi, J. - (1.) COUNSEL submits that Petitioner while holding the post of Junior Specialist (Gynae) was placed under suspension vide order dt. 13/05/2008 (Ann.2) on account of criminal case being registered for offences punishable under the Prevention of Corruption Act. Counsel further submits that after the challan being filed, the trial is lingering on and may take its own course while he is facing agony of suspension for almost two years by now.
(2.) COUNSEL further submits that without examining the continuation of suspension as to whether it is required or not, the authorities are blindly invoking the circular of the State Government dt.10th August, 2001 while deciding representation/review of suspension submitted by the employee under Rule 13(5) of the Rajasthan Civil Services (CCA) Rules, 1958. Counsel has further placed reliance on a judgment of this Court reported in Prem Prakash Mathur v. State of Rajasthan and Ors., (2005(9) RDD 3962 (Raj.) and Vishnu Kr. Gupta v. State, (2009 WLC (UC) 701). Counsel submits that the Circular issued by the State Government dt.10/08/2001 will not supersede the statutory requirement which is to be complied with by the authority under Rule 13 (5) of the Rules.
(3.) WITHOUT going into merits of the matter, this writ petition is disposed of with the directions to the Petitioner to make a fresh representation for reconsideration/ review of the orders of suspension dt. 13/05/2008 (Ann.2) before the competent authority under Rule 13(5) of the Rules, 1958 who may independently examine the same without being influenced by the instructions dated 10th August, 2001 and may also take note of the judgment (supra) and pass speaking order within three months thereafter and decision may be communicated to the Petitioner who if still feels aggrieved, will be free to avail the remedy under law.;
