In its order passed on Friday, the top court while dismissing Khan's plea observed that he would continue to be paid suspension allowance as per law.
It also made it clear that dismissal of this petition "will not be amount to any imprimatur of the findings recorded by the High Court".
The Allahabad High Court in its March 7 order had observed that Khan's non-cooperation was the reason for delay in the disciplinary proceedings and while disposing of his petition against suspension order had directed the authorities to complete the proceedings within three months.
