Civil Writ Petition No. 1512/2026 Chandan Kumar Chaturvedi S/o Shri Jagdish Chand Chaturvedi, Aged About 51 Years, R/o Julania Mohalla Bakani, District Jhalawar - 326022 (Raj.) ----Petitioner Versus 1. State Of Rajasthan, Through The Director, Secondary Education, Bikaner, Rajasthan. 2. The District Education Officer (Headquarter), Secondary, District Jhalawar. ----Respondents For Petitioner(s) : Chhavi Chaturvedi, Adv. For Respondent(s) : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANAND SHARMA Order 04/02/2026 1. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was placed under suspension vide order dated 31.07.2025, only on the allegation of spreading one message on social media treating it to be misconduct. 2. Learned counsel submits that although in the case of Ajay Choudhary Vs. Union of India (2015) 7 SCC 291, the Hon’ble Supreme Court has held that without issuing charge- sheet, and without reviewing the suspension order, no employee can be kept under suspension for a long time, yet the suspension order dated 31.07.2025 has not yet been reviewed by the respondents, nor till this date any charge-sheet has been issued to the petitioner. [2026:RJ-JP:5170] (2 of 2) [CW-1512/2026] 3. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record. 4. In the light of the fact that the petitioner is under suspension vide order dated 31.07.2025 and there appears to be no allegations with regard to anything done by him during the course of his official work, and even charge-sheet has not been issued to him, in the light of judgment of Ajay Choudhary (supra), this Court deems it just and proper to direct the petitioner to submit a representation before the respondents with a prayer to review the suspension order. In case, any such representation is made, the same shall be considered and decided by the respondent No.2 within a period of 30 days from the receipt of copy of representation along with a certified copy of this order. 5. Writ petition stands disposed of, accordingly. 6. Pending application(s), if any, also stand(s), disposed of. (ANAND SHARMA),J DIVYA /20
