According to these orders / instructions, the orders of suspension against Government servants shall be reviewed at an interval of six months and however an outer limit of two years from the date of suspension has been provided failing which; the public servant may have to be reinstated without prejudice to the proceedings being pursued, and however, in exceptional cases, considering the gravity of charges, officers could be continued under suspension even beyond a period of two years, especially in cases where there is deliberate delay caused due to non-co-operation of the employee concerned.

2. Further, Government have issued instructions in Memo 4^th read with 5^th cited, framing a time schedule to complete the disciplinary cases instituted against Government servant to ensure timely action.
