The petitioner was also put to additional charge as Attender from 02.02.2012 to 10.10.2012 and was put in charge of the safe vault containing jewels. The petitioner claims that so far he has rendered hard, sincere and blemishless service to the satisfaction of his superiors. However, to the shock and surprise, as per the direction of the 1st respondent, the 2nd respondent placed the petitioner under suspension, by proceedings dated 17.11.2016, alleging certain irregularities in the Society and also indicating that a charge memo will be issued separately. The petitioner, in this regard, submitted a representation dated 05.12.2016, to the first respondent praying for revocation of the order of suspension by setting aside the same, through proper channel. Despite receipt and acknowledgement, it is not favoured with any kind of response. Hence, he came forward to file this writ petition.
