Provided that, generally suspension shall not be ordered unless the following circumstance exists:

against him/her if he/she is not suspended and is allowed to carry out the duties of his/her post, or
(b) Where there is a possibility of governmental loss or damage if he/she is not suspended and is
allowed to carry out the duties of his/her post.
(2) The official empowered to issue order of punishment to a civil employee may give a notice of the charge to him/her on his/her removal or dismissal from service, and may also suspend him/her.
(3) In suspending a civil employee pursuant to Sub-section (1), he/she must not be suspended ordinarily for more than two months. The action against the employee must be completed within that period. If such action cannot be completed within that period because of the occurrence of any extra-ordinary circumstance and
the period of suspension has to be extended, the period of suspension may be extended for up to one month with the prior approval of the Authority.
(4) Any civil employee arrested and detained for a criminal charge involving moral turpitude shall be deemed to have ipso facto been suspended during the period of such detention.
