Friends,
In trap case the viglance and anti-corruption team arrested one inspector of police on charges of corruption on 12/9/09 at about 12.30 hrs and he was remanded to judicial custody on the same day.Subsequentely on 13/9/09 the suspension order was issued to the accused.
I want to know that if the goverment officer arrested and remanded, the suspension order must be issued after 48 hrs and in the said case the accused was served suspension order within 24 hrs.
guide me and refer judgements to get over

It is mandatory to suspend the official in judicial custody for more than 48 hours.
There is nothing wrong in suspending the official before that period also. The special report from VAC might have reached the department earlier.

Suspension is made within 48 hours of arrest to a departmental employee, it is true but suspension is not merely dependent over this provision. A police inspector is regarded as guard of law and if he is caught red handed as told by you in your quarry, is prima-facie sufficient for his department to immediately suspend such employee and there is no illegality in the action of the department.
