[4] Mr. Kh. Tarunkumar, learned sr. counsel for the petitioner has drawn the attention of this Court to a decision of this Court in the case of “ Khaidem Suchitra Chanu vs. State of Manipur & 2 Ors. ” in WP(C) No. 842 of 2023 in order dated 14.07.2026 reported in 2026:MNHC:134 whereas, this Court observed that in case of Aided College, where suspension has been prescribed under Section II, Clause 3(i) (a) & (b) of Manipur Education Code, 1982, there is no corresponding provisions for regulating the period of suspension after expiry of 90 days, unlike as prescribed under Rule 10 of CCS (CCA) Rules, 1965. In that order, this Court held that, where the Manipur Education Code, 1982 is silent about the extension and review of the period of suspension, the provision of CCS (CCA) Rules, 1965 especially, Rule 10 Sub Rule 6 which contemplated review of suspension before expiry of 90 days, will be applicable. If the suspension order is not reviewed before the expiry of 90 days, the order of suspension will automatically lapse. It is submitted that the suspension order dated 13.02.2023 has neither been review nor extended as contemplated under the Rule 10 of CCS (CCA) Rules, 1965 and by the above cited order of Kh. Suchitra Chanu (supra) , the suspension order automatically lapses and is liable to be set aside. Relevant para of the judgment reported as 2026:MNHC:134 is reproduced as below:
