Suspension Valid Without Charge-Sheet If Enquiry Is Explicitly Contemplated | Service Law: Allahabad HC
The Allahabad High Court has ruled that a suspension order remains lawful even if the charge-sheet has not been served, provided the order clearly initiates a departmental enquiry and ensures expeditious disposal with subsistence allowance. This protects public servants from indefinite suspension while upholding administrative discipline, setting a critical precedent for departmental proceedings across state services.
