IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.13537 of 2009 Dhirendra Prasad Srivastav Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors 4/ 26/08/2011 The petitioner questions the order of punishment dated 5.2.2009 for 50% deduction of his pension, gratuity in a departmental proceeding. Learned counsel for the State raises a preliminary objection to the alternative remedy of Revision available to the petitioner under Rule-28 of the Bihar C.C.A. Rules, 2005. In view of the objection and the alternative statutory remedy available, leave is sought to withdraw the application for pursuing the alternative remedy of Revision. The impugned order was passed on 5.1.2009. The statutory limitation for filing of a Revision application is six months. The writ petition was filed within this period of limitation on 22.5.2009. Relying on (1996) 6 SCC 199 (DANDA RAJESHWARI Versus BODAVULA HANUMAYAMMA AND OTHERS) this Court holds that if the petitioner files such revision within a period of 30 days from today, the remedy shall not be denied to the petitioner on grounds of limitation. Keeping in mind that the petitioner is a superannuated employee and the impugned order 2 affects his right to pension, the Court considers it proper to direct that any such revision application should be disposed off within a maximum period of three months from the date of presentation provided the petitioner himself cooperates. Nothing in the present order shall be deemed or construed as any opinion or observation on the merits of the matter which remains open in its entirety both on law and facts to be considered by the statutory authority. The application is permitted to be withdrawn for availing the alternative remedy. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
