Suspended IPS officer of the Andhra Pradesh cadre A B Venkateswar Rao on Thursday approached the Central Administrative Tribunal against his suspension.
In his petition, Rao complained to the tribunal that he was suspended illegally by the state government.
He also claimed that he had not been paid his salary since May 31 of last year.
He said that it was not fair that the state government had placed him under suspension without any valid reason.
He pleaded with the tribunal to set aside the suspension order.
For the uninitiated, the AP government had suspended Rao on the charge that he had acted by violating service rules.
The government claimed that Rao was suspended as he had committed irregularities in the purchase of safety equipment.
Rao is a 1989 batch IPS officer. He had worked as the Intelligence Bureau chief.
