I was working as a Manager in SBI. I was suspended in Nov 2020 and still under suspension awaiting the inquiry to start. I have been suspended based on the audit report, and a charge sheet has been issued recently (March 2022), and an FIR has been filed. To my utter dismay, other officials involved in the case are not suspended despite being served by the Charge Sheet. I have not been paid subsistence allowance for 8 months. After repeated letters, I am being paid half salary for the past 2 months. As per the Supreme Court order, an employee cannot be kept under suspension for more than 6 months, and full salary should be paid after 1 year. I request your good selves to advise me on the next course of action: either I should approach the court for revocation and completion of the departmental inquiry.

Dear Karthik,
As a managerial cadre employee, you cannot seek any remedy for the grievance under the IDA, 1947. Since the bank is a PSU, it is amenable to the writ jurisdiction of the High Court and the Supreme Court only. You have been under suspension for more than a year, and you were not paid the subsistence allowance promptly. Although the charge sheet was issued to you in March 2022, the domestic enquiry is yet to start. The slow pace of the disciplinary process post your suspension in November 2020 and the belated payment of subsistence allowance indicate the callous and lackadaisical attitude of the management, which is a significant reason to seek judicial intervention.
Therefore, you may consider filing a writ under Article 226 in the High Court of your state directing the bank to complete the disciplinary proceedings in a time-bound manner. Additionally, to revoke the suspension immediately and place you in any sensitive post until the completion of the disciplinary proceedings.
Please let me know if you need further assistance.
Best regards,
