1. This Letters Patent Appeal is directed against the judgment dated 09.02.2010 passed by a learned single Judge of this court in WP (C) 7383/2009 as also against the order dated 20.09.2010 passed by the said learned single Judge in the review petition No.243/2010. By virtue of the judgment dated 09.02.2010, the respondent’s writ petition was allowed and by virtue of the order dated 20.09.2010, the appellant’s review petition was dismissed.

2. The issue sought to be raised in the present appeal pertains to the manner in which the period for which the respondent Kuldeep Raj Sharma was under suspension, that is, from 05.08.2000 to 20.07.2002, is to be dealt with. The respondent’s claim for difference in salary as well as of treating the said period of suspension as having been “spent on duty” was allowed by the learned single Judge by virtue of the impugned judgment / order. It is the case of the appellant that the said decision runs contrary to the regulations and also to the Supreme Court decision which had been relied upon by the learned single Judge in the case of General Manager, UCO Bank and Another v. M. Venuranganath: 2007 (13) SCC 251.
