Govind Mathur, J.-The petitioner preferred the present writ petition giving challenge to the order dated 25.08.1993 passed by the appointing authority placing him under suspension. After filing of the writ petition by an order dated 20.07.1994 the respondents revoked the suspension of the petitioner on getting him exonerated from the allegations of misconduct, However, the decision with regard to the period of suspension pertaining to the petitioner was deferred till disposal of some other disciplinary proceedings. The contention of Counsel for the petitioner is that the petitioner was placed under suspension on the count of disciplinary proceedings which ultimately culminated into his exoneration, accordingly, the respondents are required to take decision for the period of suspension on basis of the decision of the disciplinary proceedings concerned.

2. A reply to the writ petition has been filed on behalf of the respondents stating therein that the petitioner was convicted by a Court of competent jurisdiction for the charges under Prevention of Corruption Act, therefore, he was placed under suspension.
