https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=309603 Suspension of a public servant is temporary and cannot be continued for an indeterminate period pending criminal proceedings or a departmental enquiry. Where charges are not served within a reasonable time, continuation of suspension requires a reasoned order of extension; otherwise, mechanical prolongation is impermissible. The governing principle is that prolonged suspension offends the right to a speedy trial and human dignity, while departmental proceedings may proceed without keeping the employee under continued suspension. On that basis, the suspension was liable to revocation and the employee was entitled to relief against the prolonged suspension. en-us Thu, 17 Nov 2016 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 12 Sep 2023 22:28:57 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=309603 Suspension of a public servant is temporary and cannot be continued for an indeterminate period pending criminal proceedings or a departmental enquiry.
