THE STATE OF JHARKHAND vs AMRESH NARAYAN SINHA

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's directive to the State of Jharkhand to grant full pay and allowances to the respondent, Amresh Narayan Sinha, during his suspension despite ongoing disciplinary proceedings. The court emphasized the importance of fair treatment and due process for public servants under suspension. The judgment reinforces the principle that suspension should not lead to undue financial hardship without a concluded inquiry.
