ANWARUN NISHA KHATOON vs STATE OF BIHAR .

The Supreme Court held that under Rule 96 of the Bihar Service Code, a government servant under suspension is entitled to subsistence allowance for the duration of suspension, regardless of attendance. The Court found that the High Court's dismissal of the Appellant's claim for subsistence allowance was unsustainable, as the Appellant's husband was entitled to such payments despite not reporting for duty. The Court reversed the High Court's decision and directed the payment of the subsistence allowance due to the Appellant's husband.
