[2025:RJ-JP:25686] (2 of 3) [CW-10320/2025]
4. From perusal of the Representation, it appears that petitioner has not assigned a single reason to cancel her suspension order (Annexure-11).
5. Counsel for petitioner, during course of arguments, relied upon a judgment passed in case of Dr. B.M. Bohra Vs. State of Rajasthan [RLR 1991 (1) 383], to contend that order of suspension has adverse effect and implication on the service of employee and tarnished his/her image, hence, the Authorities should not exercise the powers of suspension in a casual, mechanical and arbitrary manner.
6. This Court finds that the order of suspension of petitioner has been passed with due application of mind by the Authorities. It has been specifically stated in the order impugned that disciplinary enquiry against the petitioner is contemplated in the matter of “unrest among the staff of GSS and complaints against her regarding various irregularities at the GSS.” At this stage, it is not just and proper to pass any findings in respect of conduct or working of petitioner since issuance of charge-sheet is still awaited. In the present case, the ratio decidendi expounded by the Coordinate Bench of this Court in case of Dr. B.M. Bohra (supra) does not render any support to petitioner to quash the
order of suspension. In totality of facts and circumstances and considering the specific allegations mentioned in the suspension
order in respect of which disciplinary enquiry is contemplated against petitioner, this Court does not find any good reason to interfere with the order of suspension in exercise of its jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.
[2025:RJ-JP:25686] (3 of 3) [CW-10320/2025]
7. As a result, the writ petition is hereby dismissed.
8. Stay application and other pending application(s), if any, stand disposed of.
9. A copy of this order be sent to the respondents for further action.
