Thru. Prin. Secy. Agriculture Marketing / Foreign Trade U.P. Govt. Lko. And 2 Others .....Respondent(s) opposite parties no. 2 & 3 when the case is listed next. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsels for the opposite parties. The challenge is laid to the order impugned dated 13-09-2024 passed by the Director, Rajya Krishi Utpadan Mandi Parishad, U.P.,Lucknow. While passing the aforesaid order, a warning has been given to the petitioner. It is further provided in the impugned order that the salary of the petitioner for the period of suspension, will not be paid to him. The law has been settled by this court in the case of State of U.P. And Others Vs Arun Kumar Singh and Another, reported in [2015(33) LCD 1927] that if the minor punishment is awarded, the payment of salary and other allowances for the suspension period, shall be paid. Prima-facie, it seems that the impugned order has been passed against the settled proposition of law. Learned counsel appearing for the respondent nos. 2 & 3 submits that he may be granted a week's time to seek instructions in the matter. As prayed, list/put up this matter in the Next Week in the list of fresh cases." In-compliance of the order aforesaid, Mr. Rajesh Kumar, counsel appearing for respondent nos. 2 & 3 has placed the order dated 18.11.2025, which is taken on record. Placing the aforesaid, he submits that the punishment order has been modified to the extent that the petitioner is entitled for the payment of subsistence allowances, during the period of suspension and that shall be paid very soon. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner has no objection, but his anxiety is that the payment of subsistence allowances may be paid within shortest period of time. Considering the submissions of counsel for the parties, the present writ petition is hereby disposed of in-terms of the order dated 18.11.2025. Needless to say that the subsistence allowances payable to the petitioner shall be paid within period of six weeks by the respondent no.2/Director, Rajya Krishi Utpadan Mandi Parishad, U.P. Lucknow.
