I was Branch Head in a scheduled commercial Bank and was suspended August, 2010 without issuing any explanation/memo. After a lapse of almost ten months no charge sheet has been framed and issued to me till date. Is there any time limit to issue charge sheet after suspending an employee.
As per my knowledge in Government departments if charge sheet is not issued within three to six months of the suspension, suspension is automatically revoked.
If time period is not specifically mentioned in the department's service manual then what is the supreme court ruling.
Is there any supreme court ruling of maximum stipulated time to issue a charge sheet to the employee after suspension.
I AM GETTING SUBSISTENCE ALLOWANCE AS APPLICABLE IN DEPARTMENT'S SERVICE MANUAL.
It is very much clear in my mind that I have not done anything wrong.
And I exactly want to know supreme court ruling for the maximum time period to issue charge sheet after suspending an employee on the grounds of preliminary investigations as our department's service manual is silent on this subject.
Further, there are instances in our Bank where an employee remained suspended for years together without issuing charge sheet to them.

It is true that suspension of a govt servant is generally revoked if chargesheet is not served within 6 months. I would suggest you to approach HC in writ.
