Doranda, District-Ranchi. ....Petitioner(s) Versus 1. The State of Jharkhand. 2. Mr. Uma Shankar Singh, S/o- Not Known to the petitioner, presently posted as the through Secretary, Secretary, School, Education and Literacy Department, Government of Jharkhand, having its office at Nepal House, P.O. & P.S. Doranda, District-Ranchi. ....Opp. Parties --------- CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE DEEPAK ROSHAN --------- For the Petitioner(s) : Mr. Prem Pujari Roy, Advocate For the Opp. Parties : Mr. Jayant Franklin Toppo, G.A.-V --------- 05/Dated:- 14.08.2026 1. Looking to the show cause filed by the opposite party No.2, it is clear that the petitioner has been reinstated and further suspended for fresh departmental enquiry. 2. It has been submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that on the same day, the petitioner has been reinstated and again suspended and further, he submits that he has not received the balance amount of salary from the date of termination till the date of reinstatement.

3. So far as the last prayer of the petitioner with regard to the payment of balance amount from the date of dismissal to the date of reinstatement is concerned; the same is a fresh cause of action. The petitioner would be at liberty to approach before the concerned authority for the same. 4. However, there is no flaw in the order for pursuing the 1 2026:JHHC:24673 enquiry, which is strictly in compliance of the order. 5. It goes without saying that the petitioner would be getting subsistence allowance during the period of suspension. The only observation is made which will not convert the purport of the main writ application is that the respondent would ensure the early conclusion of the disciplinary proceeding. 6. With the aforesaid observation, the instant contempt application stands disposed of. The personal appearance is automatically dispensed with. (Deepak Roshan, J.)
