Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS . ----------- 2. 22.2.2010 Counter affidavit is stated to have been filed on behalf of the respondents on 11.12.2009. The same is however not available on the record and therefore this Court requested the counsel for the State to make available his copy for perusal so as not to hold up the proceeding. Let the office place the counter affidavit on record. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. On being taken into custody the petitioner was placed under suspension and it was revoked after he was released on bail. Departmental proceedings have been initiated and now from the pleadings of the parties it is clear that the enquiry report has been submitted, and the petitioner on 20.8.2009 vide Annexure-15 to the supplementary affidavit has also submitted his reply to the second show cause notice. Now that the departmental proceeding is on the verge of conclusion when only issuance of appropriate orders by the disciplinary authority remains, this Court is not persuaded to interfere with 2 the suspension at this stage. The writ application is disposed with the observation that if the departmental proceeding is not finally disposed by the disciplinary authority in accordance with law within a maximum period of one month from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order, the suspension shall stand revoked when the departmental proceeding shall otherwise continue. The writ application stands disposed. P. Kumar (Navin Sinha, J.)
