Heard Mr. Shakir Khan, learned counsel appearing for the
petitioner; and Mr. Shyam Sharma, learned G.A. appearing for the
respondents.

The case of the petitioner is that she was working as a
Chowkidar in the office of SDO, Lilong along with one Md. Abdul
Hakimin as LDC in the same office. Both the present petitioner and the
LDC were placed under suspension on registration of an FIR being No.
86(09) 2021 LIL-PS u/s 436, 34 IPC and 3/4 PDPP Act in exercise of
the power provided under Rule 10(2) of the CCS(CCA) Rules. It is the
case of the petitioner that in respect of the aforesaid LDC, this Hon’ble
Court passed an order quashing the said FIR in respect of the said
person and pursuant to the quashing of the FIR, the State Government
has issued an order revoking the suspension order in respect of the said
LDC. It is also the case of the petitioner that the petitioner also
approached this Court by filing Cril.Petn. with a prayer for quashing the
said FIR and the said criminal petition has been allowed by this Court
by passing a judgment & order dated 11.12.2023 in Cril.Petn. No. 50 of
2022 and quashed the said FIR. Subsequently, the petitioner
approached the authority for revocation of her suspension order
pursuant to the quashing of the said FIR. However when the authorities
failed to revoke her suspension order, the petitioner approached this
Court by filing the present petition for redressing her grievance. The
2

learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that since the
said FIR/criminal proceedings against the present petitioner has
already been quashed by the high Court, the authorities have no ground
for placing her under suspension and the impugned suspension order
deserves to be quash and set aside.

Mr. Shyam Sharma, learned G.A. appearing for the
respondents, seeks 1(one) weeks’ time as a last chance for getting
instructions from the authorities.

As prayed for by the learned G.A., list this case again on
11.02.2025.

It is made clear that no further adjournment will be allowed
after the next date and an appropriate order will be passed even if the
respondents fail to file their counter affidavit.
