Station House Officer, Tarapur, Munger. ----- Respondents. ----------- 2 14.10.2011 Heard Mr. Manish Kumar learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Ashok Kumar Mishra, learned A.C. to S.C. 7 for the respondents. The writ petition has been filed against the order of suspension issued with regard to the petitioner under Memo No. 3648 dated 30.8.2011 by the Superintendent of Police, Munger. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the grounds mentioned in the suspension order are factually incorrect including the place of occurrence which would not give jurisdiction to the police station of which the petitioner was Incharge and also the fact that there was no deliberate or willful laches on his part and rather he was prompt in setting the process of investigation into motion. He fairly submits that though he was called upon to show-cause prior to his suspension but inadvertently and for personal reasons, the same could not be submitted in time. However, he submits that a representation has been filed before the Superintendent of Police, Munger which is still undecided. He finally submits that the 2 suspension order is open ended and there is no mentioning that such suspension is in contemplation of any departmental proceeding which vitiates the order of suspension itself. He submits that till date charges have not been framed. Considering the facts and circumstances of this case, the writ petition is disposed off with a direction to the Superintendent of Police, Munger to consider the representation of the petitioner by personally verifying all the issues raised in such representation. The Superintendent of Police, Munger may also hear the petitioner personally, if so desired by him. Let the Superintendent of Police, Munger pass appropriate orders on such representation within six weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order upon him. With the aforementioned directions, the writ petition stands disposed off. Sanjay (Ahsanuddin Amanullah, J.)
