MAT orders State to pay arrears to police officer

Govari had made a grievance in his application that he was not paid the subsistence allowance from February 1999 since the date of his suspension. Through his lawyer, Namrata Naik instructed by M P Vashi and Associates, he argued that no inquiry had been held against him and it was on the verge of his retirement that he was ordered to be suspended. In his application, the deputy collector, election branch, T R Rokade and assistant election officer, D M Avhad told the court that the bills were ready. But Naik argued that though a notice wassent to them, no payment was made to Govari.
