(vi) Leave :- FR 55 provides that leave may not be granted to a Govt. servant under suspension. (vii) LTC :- Since no leave can be granted to a Govt. servant under suspension, he cannot avail of LTC for himself. There is, however, no bar to the members of his family availing of LTC. (viii) Lien :- A Govt. servant under suspension retains his lien during suspension period. (ix) A suspended Govt. servant should not be asked to mark attendance. XI. Headquarters of a Govt. servant under suspension:- The headquarters of a Govt. servant under suspension should normally be assumed to be his last place of duty. However, where an individual under suspension requests for a change of headquarters, the competent authority may change the headquarter if it is satisfied that such a course of action will not put the Government to any expenditure like grant of T. A. etc. or create difficulty in investigations or in processing the departmental proceedings etc.. xvii XII. Resignation during suspensionxviii:- When a Govt. servant under suspension submits resignation, the competent authority will consider whether it would be in public interest to accept the resignation. Normally, it would not be accepted except where allegations do not involve moral turpitude or where evidence is not sufficient to prove the charges leading to removal/dismissal or where proceedings are likely to be protracted and it would be cheaper to the exchequer to accept the resignation. In the case of Group C & D employees’ prior approval of Head of the Department will be necessary. Approval of Minister would be needed in the case of Group A & B employees. Where departmental action has been initiated on the advice of CVC/C&AG in the case of Group A & B Gazetted officers, their concurrence should be obtained before submitting the file to Minister for approval. 71 XIII. Retirement on superannuation:- On attaining the age of superannuation, a Govt. servant will be retired even if he is placed under suspension. He will not get subsistence allowance but will draw provisional pension under Rule 69 of CCS (Pension) Rules, 1972.
