has been taken is the submission of learned Advocate for the
petitioner based upon instruction from his client.
4. Learned Advocate for the Union of India prays for
a short adjournment to apprise this Court with respect to the
present factual position.
5. Be that as it may, considering the nature of relief
sought for in the writ petition as also the fact that now the
suspension of the petitioner has already been revoked, this Court
does not find any reason to keep the matter pending.
Accordingly, the present writ petition stands disposed of.
6. However, the petitioner shall be at liberty to file an
appropriate representation before the concerned authority for
payment of his due salary for the period he was put under
suspension after deducting the subsistence allowance. If such
representation is filed, the same shall be considered and
disposed of in accordance with law, expeditiously.
