Can a Government Servant under suspension be appointed as Defence Assistant
3. Can a Government Servant under suspension be appointed as Defence Assistant? DG P&T letter No. 201/`5/75-Disc.II dated 3 Jul 1975 provides that a Government Servant under suspension can also be allowed to function as Defence Assistant. The reasoning given in support of the above decision is that merely by being under suspension, one has not ceased to be a Government Servant. The above letter refers to a decision of the Kerala High Court, without giving the details of the judgment.
