https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=285636 Section 56(1)(b) of the Bombay Provincial Municipal Corporations Act, 1949 requires a municipal officer's suspension to be confirmed by the Corporation within six months; if confirmation is not obtained, the suspension automatically ends. The provision operates differently from penalty suspension under section 56(2), and a suspension pending inquiry is expressly not treated as a penalty. Although Rule 4(2)(a) provides for deemed suspension on custody detention, the statutory requirement under section 56(1)(b) controls where that provision is invoked, so the suspension cannot continue beyond the prescribed period without confirmation. en-us Thu, 22 Dec 2011 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 20 Jan 2020 15:06:24 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=285636 Section 56(1)(b) of the Bombay Provincial Municipal Corporations Act, 1949 requires a municipal officer's suspension to be confirmed by the Corporation within six months; if confirmation is not obtained, the suspension automatically ends.
